• click-contrib (a collection of third-party extensions).
  • click-man package (man pages).
  • click-help-colors package.
  • click-didyoumean package.

• cli.py or console.py.
• Asyncio integration issue (Click).

• XML vulnerabilities.
• Bandit:
  • B405 complains about any xml.etree.ElementTree import, not just parse-related ones (open) issue.
  • from xml.etree.ElementTree import Element Flagged (open) issue.
  • Error message refers to "defusedxml.defuse_stdlib()" but calling that does not silence bandit (open) issue.
  • defusedxml provides alternatives for parsing-related functions.
• Shell completion (for commands, options, and choice values):
  • Generate the activation script: _PYCTURE_COMPLETE=source_zsh pycture > pycture-complete.sh.
  • In .bashrc or .zshrc, source the script: . /path/to/pycture-complete.sh.
  • Alternative: eval "$(_PYCTURE_COMPLETE=source_zsh pycture)".
• aiohttp package (vs. Requests):
  • "(...) you can picture the session object as a user starting and closing a browser: it wouldn't make sense to do that every time you want to load a new tab." (source)

# aiohttp
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    async with session.get("http://python.org") as response:
        print(await response.text())

# vs.

# Requests
response = requests.get("http://python.org")
print(response.text)

# or

with requests.Session() as session:
    response = session.get("http://python.org")
    print(response.text)
