Re: CLI framework using python
Hi Naoki, I am new to python programming. Getting used to writing basic scripts to understand python. To understand 'Click' i may need some more guidance. For e.g if i were to do 'ifconfig -a' from Click, how would the program look like. That will help me get started. What i am looking for is a class based approach. For e.g all interface related commands could come under class Interface and 'ifconfig' would probably be a method. I would like to see one working program to get a feel for 'Click' Thank You! vij On Tuesday, October 14, 2014 7:46:44 PM UTC+5:30, INADA Naoki wrote: Click_ is another CLI framework.

It depends what you mean by CLI framework. If you simply mean something like hg, where you have subcommands and options and so on, all you really need is argument parsing. Take the simplest possible solution and run with it! ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

[Im looking at them from a couple of angles 1. Using python as a scripting language 2. Notion of DSL ] Can you tell me in short whats the difference?? Not really, both are quite new to me as well. On a first glanced I prefered sh However: plumbum works also on Windows systems. As I have to write some code for Windows, some code for Linux and some code for both platforms I think plumbum might be nicer as I can stick to one syntax. So far I used both of them just in very tiny scripts. Most of my code still uses subprocess.Popen or my own clumsy wrappers around it. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
CLI framework using python
Hi, I need to develop a python CLI framework. For example if i need to set an ip address in linux: ifconfig eth0 172.16.25.125 I should be able to use python to do the above. 1. The user will execute a python script to which i will pass the params eth0 and ip address (something like ifconf.py eth0 172.16.25.125) 2. Within the script i grab the params and do something to the effect of user executing 'ifconfig eth0 172.16.25.125' from the shell. 3. There are other such commands for which i will be using python scripts. I came across pyCLI, but it doesn't have much documentation, so couldn't figure out how to move forward. 4.
