arttime VS typer

Below is a collection of figures from arttime's manpage. It can be opened with arttime -m or man arttime from terminal. You can also see arttime's manpage (without colors) in your web browser: arttime manwebpage.

arttime is a terminal application that blends beauty of text-art with functionality of clock, timer, and pattern-based time manager. One can also display customized dynamic feed of information like weather, news, stocks, system metrics and etc. The above GIF shows that a feeder can be used to display weather in arttime.

Please read sections ORCHESTRATING and CONTRIBUTING (which has a software spec) in [arttime man txt](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/poetaman/arttime/main/shar...). to understand how to write custom information feeders. They can be written in any language, and should be quite simple. Please get in touch if you write something of common interest. Link to such feeders will get added to arttime's page, and best ones will get special mention. Here's an example that shows how line of text under art can be remotely updated to show "Hello World":

```

v2.3.0 of arttime enables silent remote updates for exciting information feeders, adds illustrative manpage, and new .deb package. One can write a customized information feeder in language of choice. Please feel free to share if you write something of value to others, a link to your work will be added to arttime's page. Links:

It's mentioned on the README.md's Troubleshooting section: https://github.com/poetaman/arttime#troubleshooting. Having seen fellow humans, I opine that not many will reach there.

Package managers should agree to remove software from a platform if the developer thinks it's not fruitful for them to keep publishing there, or it's detrimental to the user's experience.

arttime is a clock, timer, time manager, ASCII/ANSI/PETSCII/Unicode text-art and ~animation/storyboard viewer that comes with a library of curated quality text-art. Notes: it's coded in zsh, but that's not required to be user's shell to install or use. If you would like to collaborate on a package for a package manager, among other things, feel free to drop a note in arttime discussions.

I have been using Typer on every one of my CLI projects which uses Click under the hood. The documentation is fantastic, the CLI app it produces looks great and lets you create things quickly. I high recommend it.

Adding CLI capabilities. My preferred library here is typer.

I just heard about this but it seems to be pretty much the type of thing you want and want fast.

Docstrings are for documenting how a function/ class/ method/ module works. Often you don't need to add a docstring to your main function because no one will be importing it to use elsewhere. And if you want it to run as a CLI, then there are better ways to document the available options. For example, typer does most of it for you, or in click you add the help text to the decorator.

Most computing tasks in airflow DAGs are KubernetesPodOperator containing a CLI (Python Typer). It allows us to pass arguments easily to run DAG manually if needed (the new UI to pass arguments to DAG in airflow 2.6 is really nice). Arguments allow us to replay DAG easily (change start / end dates for instance).

So it's basically the main .gitlab-ci.yml file plus a separate Python CI app using Typer for the AWS instrumentation.

Similarly for Typer, which is literally "the FastAPI of CLIs"[1]. Handy to type your `main` parameters and have CLI argument parsing. For more complicated cases, it's a wrapper around Click.

interesting that you hate python, but love Click. Did you try Typer which uses Click underneath?
