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

I am sick of writing argparse boilerplate code, so I made "duckargs" to do it for me
Google's Fire another one worth checking out.
Googles python-fire
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.
-
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.

To that guy who told me about argparse
I second click, combine with PyInquirer as well. Unfortunately PyInquirer is EOL, but they are trying to find a successor https://github.com/CITGuru/PyInquirer/issues/159

CLI Prompts In Python
This post will use the PyInquirer library to demonstrate how to add some command line prompts to make it easier to build an interactive program.
