class MyCommandsLoader(CLICommandsLoader):
def load_command_table(self, args):
with CommandGroup(self, 'abc', '__main__#{}') as g:
g.command('str', 'abc_str')
return OrderedDict(self.command_table)
def load_arguments(self, command):
with ArgumentsContext(self, 'abc str') as ac:
ac.argument('length', type=int)
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)
# $ python mycli.py abc str
# "abc"
