PICLE is a module to construct interactive command line shell applications using Pydantic models.

Built on top of Python's standard library CMD module and uses Pydantic models to construct shell environments.

Comparison With Other Projects

python-nubia by Facebook - unfortunately this project no longer maintained, it also provides no integration with Pydantic.

Why not python-fire, click or argparse - all these libraries are great for building command line tools, but they provide no support for interactive shell or input comprehensive validation supported by Pydantic.

Why not prompt-toolkit or textual - those are extremely good libraries for building Terminal User Interface (TUI) applications but they provide no support for interactive shell and Pydantic validation of input.
