Convert your ordinary functions into cool command-line interfaces!
Komandr is a smart thin wrapper around powerful argparse
module lets you
build defacto standart command-line interfaces in secondz while providing you
all the flexibity.
from komandr import *
@command
def foo(bar, baz=None):
print 'foo', bar, baz
main()
Need some help?
$ python example.py --help
usage: example.py [-h] [-v] {foo,cool_command} ...
positional arguments:
{foo,cool_command}
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
Let's investigate more about foo
$ python example.py foo --help
usage: example.py foo [-h] --baz BAZ bar
positional arguments:
bar
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--baz BAZ
Test foo
command
$ python example.py foo Hello
usage: example.py foo [-h] --baz BAZ bar
example.py foo: error: argument --baz is required
That's ok now
$ python example.py foo Hello --baz World
foo Hello World
Cool, eh? What if you need more control over?
from komandr import *
@command('cool_command')
@arg('baz', '-z', required=True, type=int)
def lame_command(foo, bar, baz=1):
print 'lame_command', foo, bar, baz
main()
Let's try it
$ python example.py cool_command Hello -z 'wtf' World
usage: example.py cool_command [-h] --baz BAZ foo bar
example.py cool_command: error: argument --baz/-z: invalid int value: 'wtf'
Correct one should be
$ python example.py cool_command Hello -z 2013 World
lame_command Hello World 2013
