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!

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.

Pydantic V2 rewritten in Rust is 5-50x faster than Pydantic V1
Try out shiv[1], it will package up your source and depndencies into a single file, though you still require the Python interpreter to run it on the target
