Project description
Command line, configuration and persistence utilities.
Command line, configuration and persistence utilities generally used for any more than basic application.
The command line interface library intends to make command line execution and configuration easy. The library supports (among other features) an mnemonic centric way to tie a command line an action to a Python 3 handler code segment. Features include:
- Better command line parsing than [optparse]. This a binding to from a command line option using an action mnemonic to invocation of a handler.
- Better application level support for configuration than [configparser]. Specifically, optional configuration and configuration groups.
This package also has other packages to:
- Streamline in memory and on disk persistence
- Construct objects using configuration files (both INI and YAML).
- Multi-processing work with a persistence layer.
Obtaining
The easiest way to install the command line program is via the pip
installer:
pip3 install zensols.util
Usage
The easiest to get started is to template out this project with the following commands:
# clone the boilerplate repo
git clone https://github.com/plandes/template
# download the boilerplate tool
wget https://github.com/plandes/clj-mkproj/releases/download/v0.0.7/mkproj.jar
# create a python template and build it out
java -jar mkproj.jar config -s template/python
java -jar mkproj.jar
Command Line Interface
If you want to skip templating it out (i.e. don't like Java), create a command line module:
from zensols.cli import OneConfPerActionOptionsCli
from zensols.cli import SimpleActionCli
from zensols.tools import HelloWorld
VERSION='0.1'
class ConfAppCommandLine(OneConfPerActionOptionsCli):
def __init__(self):
cnf = {'executors':
[{'name': 'hello',
'executor': lambda params: HelloWorld(**params),
'actions':[{'name': 'doit',
'meth': 'print_message',
'opts': [['-m', '--message', True, # require argument
{'dest': 'message', 'metavar': 'STRING',
'help': 'a message to print'}]]}]}],
# uncomment to add a configparse (ini format) configuration file
# 'config_option': {'name': 'config',
# 'opt': ['-c', '--config', False,
# {'dest': 'config', 'metavar': 'FILE',
# 'help': 'configuration file'}]},
'whine': 1}
super(ConfAppCommandLine, self).__init__(cnf, version=VERSION)
def main():
cl = ConfAppCommandLine()
cl.invoke()
This uses the OneConfPerActionOptionsCliEnv
class, which provides a data
driven way of configuring the action based command line. An extention of this
class is the OneConfPerActionOptionsCliEnv
class, which imports environment
variables and allows adding to the configuration via adding a resource like
file (i.e. ~/.<program name>rc
) type file. See the
See the command line test cases for more examples.
