MicroCLI

A minimal CLI framework for python MicroCLI provide an easy way to create command line utilities which can perform several related actions. One example is a calculator which can add, subtract and compute logarithms. This is implemented in example.py

Installation

pip install microcli

or -if you want the bleeding edge-

pip install -e git+git@github.com:neumark/microcli.git@master#egg=microcli

Example Usage

To demonstrate the API on a very simple example, consider the following code in a file named foobar.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from microcli import MicroCLI, command

class FooBarCommand(MicroCLI):

    @command()
    def foo(self):
        return "foo"

    @command()
    def bar(self, arg1, arg2="four"):
        return "%s = %s" % (arg1, arg2)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    FooBarCommand.main()

This could be used on the command line like this:

$ foobar.py foo     # prints "foo"
$ foobar.py bar 4   # prints "4 = four"
$ foobar.py bar --arg2 good microcli  # prints "microcli = good"
$ foobar.py -h      # print usage info

Dependencies

None. At least none to run MicroCLI. For tests under python2, the contents of requirements-test.txt must be installed in the current virtualenv or globally.
