argufy 0.1.2b4

python-argufy



Overview
Inspection based parser built on argparse. Build complex CLI interfaces by
writing more code-complete applications.
Motivation
Argufy is designed to be an alternative to decorator based parsers such as
Click. Decorators have limitations that prevent effective use of inspection
without drawbacks. This parser easilly allows a CLI to be created with minimal
effort while enabling inspection.
Install
pip install argufy
Create CLI module with a command and an argument.
def example(argument: bool = False):
"""Provide an example command.

Parameters
----------
argument: bool, optional

"""
if argument:

else:
print('This is a false argument')

Create a parser
from argufy import Parser

"""Do main function for CLI."""
parser = Parser()
parser.add_commands(cli)
parser.dispatch()

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
