simplepycli 1.0.1

A really simple library for interactive python CLIs.

PyCLI

PyCLI is a really simple library for interactive python CLIs. I mostly built it for personal use on side projects, but feel free to use it.

Install Instructions

To install:

pip install simplepycli

Basic API Example

The API is really simple, so here is a comprehensive example of how it works. This is also available at example.py:

from simplepycli import PyCLIApp

# The only paramater for PyCLIApp is the marker to use in front of the terminal; defaults to "> "
app = PyCLIApp("> ")

@app.command("egg", "Prints egg to the console")
def egg(params):
  print("egg")

@app.command("echotwice", "Echos the string passed in as a paramater twice")
def echotwice(params):
  for i in range(2):
    print(params)

app.run()

This outputs a terminal that behaves like this

> egg
egg
> echotwice abc
abc
abc
> help
exit : Exit the current CLI session and close the program.
help : List available commands and their help messages.
clear : Clear the current command line.
egg : Prints egg to the console
echotwice : Echos the string passed in as a paramater twice
