pip install knack


Usage

import sys
from collections import OrderedDict
from knack import CLI, CLICommandsLoader, ArgumentsContext

def abc_list(myarg):
    import string
    return list(string.ascii_lowercase)

class MyCommandsLoader(CLICommandsLoader):
    def load_command_table(self, args):
        with CommandGroup(__name__, self, 'abc', '__main__#{}') as g:
            g.command('list', 'abc_list')
        return OrderedDict(self.command_table)

    def load_arguments(self, command):
        with ArgumentsContext(self, 'abc list') as ac:
            ac.argument('myarg', type=int, default=100)
        super(MyCommandsLoader, self).load_arguments(command)

mycli = CLI(cli_name='mycli', commands_loader_cls=MyCommandsLoader)
exit_code = mycli.invoke(sys.argv[1:])
sys.exit(exit_code)
