python3-cyclopts

Command line interface structure

Description

Package is a modern and easy-to-use framework for building command-line interfaces (CLIs) in Python, designed to make developing CLI applications simpler, more intuitive, and efficient.

It stands out for:
 - Use of Python Type Annotations: Cyclopts leverages Python’s type annotation
    system to make the CLI code more readable and less error-prone. You can use
    native Python types to specify inputs, such as int, str, and float, as well
    as more complex types like Pydantic, Dataclasses, and Attrs, improving
    clarity and control over input parameters.
 - Intuitive and Simple Interface: Cyclopts is designed to be easy to learn and
    use. The syntax is extremely simple, allowing developers to quickly build
    command-line tools with minimal code. Setting up commands, options, and
    arguments is straightforward, without the need for complex configurations
    or boilerplate code.
 - Automatic Validation and Type Conversion: Cyclopts handles automatic
    validation and type conversion based on the defined types in the code.
    This means it automatically validates input values according to type
    annotations and converts the inputs to the correct types without requiring
    extra code from the developer, reducing the chance of user input errors.
 - Automatic Help Generation: Cyclopts automatically generates detailed,
    well-structured help pages for your commands and options, using docstrings
    and the information provided in type definitions. This makes it easy to
    create user-friendly interfaces and eliminates the need to manually
    maintain CLI documentation.
 - Extensibility and Customization: Cyclopts is highly extensible. It allows
    developers to customize how input data is parsed, validated, and processed.
    The framework supports the creation of custom converters and validators,
    offering great flexibility to adapt the application to specific project
    needs.
 - Integration with Existing Tools: Cyclopts integrates seamlessly with other
    popular Python libraries and frameworks. It can be used alongside libraries
    like Pydantic for data validation or Typer and Click to build more complex
    applications, all while maintaining its simplicity and focus on usability.
 - Clear and Detailed Documentation: Cyclopts has clear, concise documentation
    with practical examples that make it easy to adopt, even for beginners.
    This is an important advantage, as building CLI tools can be complex, and
    Cyclopts’ documentation makes this process more accessible.
