python-tty 0.1.7

A multi-console TTY framework for complex CLI/TTY apps

Command Line Framework (V2: Web/RPC-ready)

中文

V2 extends the TTY core toward Web + RPC, while keeping the current codebase focused on the TTY runtime. At the moment, Web/RPC is planned but not yet implemented.

Quick Start (TTY Core)

1. Define your consoles and commands (see examples in python_tty/consoles/examples and python_tty/commands/examples).
2. Ensure console modules are imported so decorators can register them:
   • Update DEFAULT_CONSOLE_MODULES in python_tty/consoles/loader.py, or
   • Call load_consoles([...]) manually.
3. Start the factory:

from python_tty.console_factory import ConsoleFactory

factory = ConsoleFactory(service=my_business_core)
factory.start()

The service instance is available in all consoles via console.service, and in commands via self.console.service. If service does not inherit UIEventSpeaker, a warning is emitted at startup.

Current Capabilities (TTY Core)

Console layer:

• python_tty/consoles/core.py: BaseConsole, MainConsole, SubConsole
• python_tty/consoles/manager.py and python_tty/consoles/registry.py for lifecycle and registration

Commands layer:

• python_tty/commands/core.py: BaseCommands, CommandValidator
• python_tty/commands/registry.py: CommandRegistry, ArgSpec
• python_tty/commands/general.py: GeneralValidator, GeneralCompleter
• python_tty/commands/mixins.py: CommandMixin and built-in mixins

UI and utilities:

• python_tty/core/events.py: UIEvent, UIEventLevel, UIEventSpeaker
• python_tty/ui/output.py: proxy_print
• python_tty/utils/: tokenize.py, table.py, ui_logger.py

Roadmap (V2)

Planned milestones for Web + RPC:

• M1: Meta Descriptor v1 + Exporter
• M2: RPC proto v1 + local (de)serialization
• M3: Meta Web Server (HTTP + WS)
• M4: RPC Server (mTLS + allowlist + audit)
• M5: Unified execution system (CommandExecutor)
