#89452 — Clize 3.0b1: An argument parser that draws a CLI from your function sigature

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hello everyone!

After a few years in development, I am proud to say Clize is landing its
feet again and is now in beta for an upcoming release.

You can try it out using    pip install --user clize=3.0b1    and you can
browse the docs at    https://clize.readthedocs.org/

For those who'd like an explanation before clicking links, here's Clize's
5-bullet point explanation:

* Command-line interfaces are created by passing functions to `clize.run`.
* Parameter types are deduced from the functions' parameters.
* A ``--help`` message is generated from your docstrings. (Why does this
still need to be a bullet point?)
* Decorators can be used to reuse functionality across functions.
* Clize can be extended with new parameter behavior.

I am primarily looking for feedback on the documentation contents, and I
need to source a FAQ page, but any feedback is welcome!

If you are into that sort of thing, I've also just set up a G+ community
for it at: https://plus.google.com/communities/101146333300650079362

It would be nice if it could automatically generate the python code
for 'clizing a function', i.e., from the example in
https://clize.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

def hello_world(name=None, no_capitalize=False):
    ...

being able to do

clize.generate_py_code(hello_world)

which would return something in the fashion of
"""
if __name__ == '__main__':
    ###process sys.argv
    ...
    name=sys.argv[1]
    no_capitalize=...
    hello_world(name=name, no_capitalize=no_capitalize)
"""
    
Sometimes you may want to eliminate dependencies.
