Writing a command-line interface (CLI) is an easy way to extend the functionality and ease of use of any code you write.
python comes with the built-in module, argparse , that can be used to easily develop command-line interfaces. To speed up the process, I have developed a ‘skeleton’ application that can be forked on github and used to quickly develop CLI programs in python.
The repo has the following features added:
Testing with travis-ci and py.test Coverage analysis using coveralls A setup file that will install the command a simple argparse interfaceTo get started, you should signup for an account on travis-ci and coveralls , and fork the repo!
