Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

click-web: Serve click scripts over the web (Python)
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.
- Anyone want to start a project with me.

How does "python3 *file* -*letter* work?
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/

Overhead of Python Asyncio Tasks
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.

I am sick of writing argparse boilerplate code, so I made "duckargs" to do it for me
Hmm… did you try such approaches, as [click](https://github.com/pallets/click) or[tap](https://github.com/swansonk14/typed-argument-parser)?

lord-of-the-clips (lotc): CLI app to download, trim/clip, and merge videos. Supports lots of sites. Downloads/trims at multiple points. Merges multiple clips.
This app leverages these powerful libraries: - yt-dlp: video downloader - moviepy: video trimmer/merger - click: CLI app creator - rich / rich-click: CLI app styler

Shells Are Two Things
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).

Tomu – A family of devices which fit inside your USB port
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.

- something like python's click library?

Advice for a final project in python without web?
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 :)

CLI tools hidden in the Python standard library
The cli tool [fire](https://github.com/google/python-fire/blob/master/docs/guide...) has a nifty feature where it can generate a cli for any file for you.
So random and math are somewhat usable that way
$ python -m fire random uniform 0 1

Build CLI blazingly fast with python-fire 🔥
With python-fire you can use either function or class to create your subcommands. But I find working with classes more intuitive and manageable. Our first command is going to be a sub-command that shows us the UTC time.

I am sick of writing argparse boilerplate code, so I made "duckargs" to do it for me
Have you checked out fire? Personally, I think it's a really elegant solution to turning a callable object into command line. Plus, the chaining function calls feature lets you build some pretty complex command line patterns likes you never seen with other frameworks. Definitely worth giving it a try!

What is your favorite ,most underrated 3rd party python module that made your programming 10 times more easier and less code ? so we can also try that out :-) .as a beginner , mine is pyinputplus
I started with click but found python fire to be so much easier to use.

Best way to get data into python scripts
I highly recommend checking out fire for adding a CLI quickly to little utility scripts that aren't going to be published to the world but just for you.

What are your coolest tools for one-liners ?
python fire autogenerates CLI wrappers for python modules, which really synergizes with method-chaining APIs like pandas.

What packages replaced standard library modules in your workflow?
also, while we're on the subject, fire may not be the same kind of workhorse as argparse or click, but for really simple stuff it's pretty awesome

Eclipse: python-fire inspired library to simplify creating CLIs in Go, on top of Cobra
I'm relatively new to Go (coming from Python) so I haven't been using Cobra (or Go, for that matter) for long but it's clearly very polished -- only friction I was experiencing with it is there's a lot of boilerplate to creating commands and subcommands, that IMO (idea as proven by python-fire) can be naturally (better) expressed as types / fields / methods that are already built into the language.
What are some alternatives?
typer - Typer, build great CLIs. Easy to code. Based on Python type hints.
python-prompt-toolkit - Library for building powerful interactive command line applications in Python
Gooey - Turn (almost) any Python command line program into a full GUI application with one line
cement - Application Framework for Python
PyInquirer - A Python module for common interactive command line user interfaces
cliff - Command Line Interface Formulation Framework. Mirror of code maintained at opendev.org.
docopt - This project is no longer maintained. Please see https://github.com/jazzband/docopt-ng
pydantic-cli - Turn Pydantic defined Data Models into CLI Tools
