CmDO Create command-driven scripts with smart arguments and help derived from decorated functions. CmDO ==== Simplifies construction of command-based tools. Tool development consists of: * Creating module files in one of several known locations using special file extensions. * Writing ordinary Python functions. * Adding decorators to choose exported functions and to describe argument types/repetition/defaults. * Creating new argument type classes as needed. * Adding descriptive documentation as structured text in doc strings, decorators, and or separate documentation modules. Benefits include: * Full command line interpretation, including support for both user-friendly simplified syntax and developer-friendly Python expressions. * Argument type and quantity checking. * Argument validation, conversion and defaults. * Keyword assignment for optional arguments. * Automatic support for simple bash shell command line completion. * Command line help for modules, functions and other documentation. * Publish help to pretty text, HTML, XML, or custom format. * View help in browser or other viewer based on mime type. * On-demand module loading. * Import-less inter-module calling and references through special CMDO namespace. * Complete support for all normal Python capabilities. * Error handling, logging, traceback, etc. * Simple interactive prompted command input. http://wijjo.com/download Steve Cooper 2dd8c0019f6859053c73af626ec6dee73d7c62c9 0.7
