Project description
What is Click Extra?
A ready-to-use wrapper for Click, the Python CLI framework.
It is a drop-in replacement with good defaults that saves lots of boilerplate code and frustration. It also comes with workarounds and patches that have not reached upstream yet (or are unlikely to).
Example
It transforms this vanilla click CLI:
Into this:

Features
- Configuration file loader for:
TOMLYAMLJSON, with inline and block comments (Python-style#and Javascript-style//)INI, with extended interpolation, multi-level sections and non-native types (list,set, …)XML
- Automatic inference of the configuration file structure from your CLI's options
- Remote loading of configuration files from URLs
- Optional strict validation of configuration
- Respect the default application path on each platform (XDG spec on Linux)
- Glob search patterns for configuration files
- Respect of
CLI>Configuration>Environment>Defaultsprecedence - Normalization and discoverability of environment variables
--show-paramsoption to debug parameters defaults, values, environment variables and provenance- Click parameters introspection
- Colorization of help screens at the semantic-level of options, parameters, subheadings, choices, metavars and defaults
- Global
show_envvaroption to display all environment variables in help screens -h/--helpoption names (see rant on other inconsistencies)--color/--no-coloroption flag--telemetry/--no-telemetryflag to opt-in/out of tracking code- Recognize traditional environment variable conventions:
NO_COLORfromno-color.orgDO_NOT_TRACKfromconsoledonottrack.com
- Colored
--versionoption - Colored
--verbosityoption and logs --time/--no-timeflag to measure duration of command execution- Global
show_choicesto activate selection of choices on user input prompts - Platform recognition utilities (macOS, Linux, Windows, UNIX, *BSD, …)
- New conditional markers for
pytest:@skip_linux,@skip_macosand@skip_windows@unless_linux,@unless_macosand@unless_windows
.. click:example::and.. click:run::Sphinx directives to document CLI source code and their execution- Inline testing of CLI examples in documentation
- ANSI-capable Pygments lexers for shell session and console output
- Fixes 40+ bugs from other Click-related projects
- Rely on Cloup to add:
- option groups
- constraints
- subcommands sections
- aliases
- command suggestion (
Did you mean <subcommand>?)
