The two replies in 2005 mentioned both raw_input and the cmd module (in case that's what he was implying). They were posted within 90 minutes of the original. http://python.6.n6.nabble.com/Creating-interactive-command-line-Python-app-td910404.html I assume that cliff is much more recent, and Bob wanted to update the thread after 7 years. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cliff -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
