click VS colorama

Context: "click" - "Command Line Interface Creation Kit" - easily create CLIs from Python code, via adding decorators: https://github.com/pallets/click

"click-web" in turn turns the click CLI app into a web app with one line of code.

there is also click, it is more straight forward and also nice to keep the relevant code where the code is. https://github.com/pallets/click/

I don't have huge experience with Python, but I used async code with C#/Typescript and lately I had to use some asyncio magic.

I found this article: https://blog.dalibo.com/2022/09/12/monitoring-python-subproc... and while async/await syntax is the same, it's not entirely clear for me, why there's some event loop and what exactly happens, when I pass function to asyncio.run(), like here: https://github.com/pallets/click/issues/85#issuecomment-5034...

So, you can use it and it's not that hard, but there are some parts that are vague for me, no matter which language implements async support.

Hmm… did you try such approaches, as [click](https://github.com/pallets/click) or[tap](https://github.com/swansonk14/typed-argument-parser)?

This app leverages these powerful libraries: - yt-dlp: video downloader - moviepy: video trimmer/merger - click: CLI app creator - rich / rich-click: CLI app styler

I've used click [1] a lot to build Python tooling scripts the past few years. Click usage is "sort of" similar to the author's proposed solution. There's also a small section here [2] that describes some of the issues covered in the article (in context of argparse).

I think the success of Arduino in the hardware world can be explained in a similar way, as the relative success of "command line app frameworks" like Click[1], or even much lighter-weight libraries like argparse[2]. You absolutely can get away with using just getopt[3] (and people experienced with it will likely strongly prefer it). However certain factors such as a more declarative API, a nice logo, the existence of an ecosystem (even if you're not actively drawing from it), an official "branded" forum, etc can all play into picking a more complex solution, with more baggage you don't need, certain oddities that may throw users off, etc.

Exactly! You can also use a library like click (https://github.com/pallets/click) to help take care of the command line side, while you focus on the 'business logic' of your application :)

Try using https://github.com/tartley/colorama, that should straighten out most low level problems. If you still have issues, you need to adjust your color scheme in pycharm.

from colorama import Fore, Style # Colorama doesn't support Underlined text because it # is struggling to make it work for windows users # https://github.com/tartley/colorama/issues/38 print(Fore.RED + Style.BRIGHT + 'Danger' + Style.NORMAL)

There are obviously a lot of libraries in python that color text, but I never loved their syntaxes, so I ended up creating this one a few years back. For comparison, this is how you print a red, bold, underlined string in **terminology**\: from terminology import in_red print(in_red('Danger').in_bold().underlined()) and this is how you do it with the other alternatives: **colorama** from colorama import Fore, Style # Colorama doesn't support Underlined text because it # is struggling to make it work for windows users # https://github.com/tartley/colorama/issues/38 print(Fore.RED + Style.BRIGHT + 'Danger' + Style.NORMAL)

The link to its github repository is this: colorama.

Escape sequences may vary depending on the terminal you use. You can try some package like Colorama which escapes those sequences and gives you the correct color in Windows. There is also Blessings.

As I mentioned earlier, Hype doesn't rely on any third-party library but then there are some plugins that third-party library powered Hype. For example, the color printing that is powered by colorama.

Looks really cool! Way more functionality than I'd ever need. I've been using colorama for color coding info, warning, and error messages in my Python projects. No complaints. From the feature list of rich it sounds like it probably pulls in a lot more dependencies?
