prompt_smart_menu is a library for building command line menus for terminal applications in Python. It allows you to create a multi-tiered argument parsing menu for executing different subcommands of a command line application.
Read the documentation on readthedocs.
Description
This library is designed around parsing a command string, not command line arguments. That is, it is intended to be used inside a python application using an input() type interface.
For command line arguments passed to the python script, a library such as argparse would be better suited. Though this library could be used for such purpose.
Though not required, this library was designed to augment the auto-completion feature of Python Prompt Toolkit. The prompt_toolkit library is very powerful, check it out!
Features
Declarative interface (That’s why I built this :] )
Integration with prompt_toolkit auto-completion
Support for python keyword arguments.
Different parsers for type casting arguments (e.g. numbers).
Ability to build custom argument parser.
Argument validation for endpoint functions.
Flexibility to mix options (e.g. parsers) for different subcommands.
No dependencies, though prompt_toolkit highly recommended.
Installation
pip install prompt_smart_menu
