Supported platforms

• Decorator as well as subclassing based command addition.

• Automatic help text extraction from doc string.

Usage

A simple case of just the main command (without any subcommands):

@maincmd
def main(self, a, b):
        '''Add two numbers.
        a:      first number
        b:      second number

        This is where extra help text goes.
        It can be more than one line.'''

        try:
                print('sum: %d'%(int(a) + int(b)))
        except ValueError:
                print('bad integer')
                raise CommandError()

cmdline = CommandLine()
try:
        cmdline.execute()
except CommandLineError as e:
        print(e)

See examples directory in code for decorator and subclass based command handling.
