A command line shell framework
Project description
shellish - Framework for creating shell-ish command line programs.
===========
This module combines the Python standard library modules argparse and cmd
to provided a unified way to make cli programs that can also be interactive
when invoked in "shell" mode.
The main benefit to using this package is streamlined command hierarchy when
you want to have rich set of subcommands along with a pretty powerful tab
completion layer that parses argparse arguments automagically.
Requirements
--------
* None more black!
Installation
--------
python3 ./setup.py build
python3 ./setup.py install
Compatibility
--------
* Python 3.4+
TODO

Getting Started

Examples
--------
**Hello World**
A requisite Hello World..
```python
import shellish
class Hello(shellish.Command):
""" I am a required docstring used to document the --help output! """
name = 'hello'
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.add_subcommand(World, default=True)
def run(self, args):
shellish.Shell(self).cmdloop()
class World(shellish.Command):
""" Say something. """
name = 'world'
def run(self, args):
print('Hello World')
if __name__ == '__main__':
root = Hello()
args = root.argparser.parse_args()
try:
root.invoke(args)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
sys.exit(1)
```
```bash
python3 ./hello.py hello world
```
