Have you considered using ipython ? I have built a CLI on top of that and it's pretty easy and effective, and it requires almost no dev. The following code is untested but it should give you an idea of what I mean. cli.py: import IPython import yourApi # explict exposure foo = yourApi.foo bar = yourApi.bar # or you can expose all the content of yourApi api = yourApi # delete unwanted names del yourApi del IPython # start the interactive CLI IPython.frontend.terminal.embed.InteractiveShellEmbed(banner1='Hello Word', exit_msg='bbye')() Regards, JM -- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
