litelookup 0.1.4

A command line tool for quick concept lookups

LiteLookup

LiteLookup is a command-line tool developed in Python that fetches beginner-level information about any concept directly from the command line. This tool is designed for users who want quick, concise, and accessible explanations without leaving their terminal.

Features

• Command-Line Interface (CLI): Uses argparse to handle user inputs.
• Error Handling: Validates user input to ensure meaningful queries. Catches special characters and raises appropriate errors.
• API Integration: Utilizes the Groq LLM API to generate concise explanations of the concepts provided.
• Caching: Implements Redis for persistent caching of API responses, reducing unnecessary API calls and improving response times.
• Expandable: Designed to be easily extended with new features and enhancements.
