Command Line Framework for Python

Project description

Colifrapy is a Command Line Framework for Python.

Its aim is to provide several tools to build robust and structured command line tools very easily.

Its logic is very similar to a MVC framework and is therefore easy to use.

Documentation

The full documentation of the framework can be found there.

Installation

It is recommanded to use colifrapy under a python virtualenv. (Use the excellent virtualenvwrapper to spare you some painful operations with classic virtualenvs).

Install colifrapy with pip:

pip install colifrapy

If you want to use the latest one which is still in development and hosted on github:

pip install git+https://github.com/Yomguithereal/colifrapy.git

Philosophy

As every framework, colifrapy aims at enable you to work immediately on critical and intersting parts of your code that will tackle the problems you need to solve instead of battling with petty things such as the console output, your settings and the arguments passed to your tool.

However, colifrapy is not a tyrant and does not force you to go its way. As such, every part of colifrapy can be used on its own and you will remain free to code the way you want to.

Concept

When using colifrapy, your tool is called through a command line hub which acts more or less like a router which will call upon a controller using one or several models to perform the job.

Your hub has therefore the task to load a yaml configuration file containing your command line arguments, name, version and other contextual settings.

Once those settings are loaded, every part of your application will remain able to access critical utilities such as argv opts, settings and make use of colifrapy’s logger to ouptut nicely to the console and to log files.

So, schematically colifrapy is a YAML configuration file loaded by a command line hub that will call upon a controller and other models.

Every bit of colifrapy can be used as a standalone.

  • Logger (outputs to console)

  • Settings (deals with your yml settings)

  • Commander (deals with argv)

  • Cacher (saves data to file)

Examples

The project furuikeya is a good example of the usage of colifrapy since the framework was originally designed for it.

Dependencies

  • pyyaml

  • argparse
