Tofu Roll

A simple framework for building command line tools.

Example

greetings.py:

from tofuroll.tofuroll import *

class app(TofuApp):
    @command
    def hi(self, options, args):
        if options.name:
            print "Hi, %s" % options.name
        else:
            print "Hi there"

    @option
    def name(self):
        return {
            'help' : "someone's name"
        }

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app().run()

on the command line:

$: python greetings.py hi
Hi there
$: python greetings.py hi -n nate
Hi, nate

Installation

pip install tofuroll

Why?

When I was working on the second version of Done I wrote a bunch of code to generalize command line argument handling. I liked its simplicity so I extracted it into tofu roll.

Name

This project is named after the delicious vegan sushi made here in Atlanta by TheSushi.
