A simple anyio-compatible fork of Click, for powerful command line utilities.
Project description
What’s AsyncClick?
AsyncClick ist a fork of Click that works well with trio, asyncio, or curio.
Click is a Python package for creating beautiful command line interfaces in a composable way with as little code as necessary. It’s the “Command Line Interface Creation Kit”. It’s highly configurable but comes with sensible defaults out of the box.
It aims to make the process of writing command line tools quick and fun while also preventing any frustration caused by the inability to implement an intended CLI API.
AsyncClick in four points:
Arbitrary nesting of commands
Automatic help page generation
Supports lazy loading of subcommands at runtime
Seamlessly use async-enabled command and subcommand handlers
Installing
Install and update using pip:
$ pip install asyncclick
AsyncClick supports Python 3.6 and newer, and PyPy3.
A Simple Example
import anyio
import asyncclick as click
@click.command()
@click.option("--count", default=1, help="Number of greetings.")
@click.option("--name", prompt="Your name", help="The person to greet.")
async def hello(count, name):
"""Simple program that greets NAME for a total of COUNT times."""
for _ in range(count):
if x: await anyio.sleep(0.1)
click.echo(f"Hello, {name}!")
if __name__ == '__main__':
hello(_anyio_backend="trio") # or asyncio, or curio
$ python hello.py --count=3
Your name: Click
Hello, Click!
Hello, Click!
Hello, Click!

AsyncClick is sufficiently minimal to not have its own web page.
