Python Tools Scripts

This is a tool, similar to invoke. It's more recent and uses argparse under the hood and some additional magic to define the CLI arguments.

To use it, you must have a tools package in your repository root. On your tools/__init__.py import your scripts and Python Tools Scripts will add them to it's CLI.

An Example Script tools/vm.py

These commands are used to create/destroy VMs, sync the local checkout
