• Python Fire

  4 18,690 5.0 Python

  Python Fire is a library for automatically generating command line interfaces (CLIs) from absolutely any Python object.

  Project mention: Explaining FastAPI and Typer Dependency Injection, and rolling your own in Python | dev.to | 2021-01-25

  Typer is for building Python command-line tools. Often you want to be able to call python scripts from the command line with extra arguments to do all manner of automation tasks. Python has a low-level method of fetching the values passed from the command-line using sys.arv which contains a list of arguments; and a high-level mehtod of building a command-line interface (allowing for optional arguments, help text, etc) using the argparser module. Aside from this, there are also plenty of other libraries that provide ways of building CLIs, including Google's Fire which is what I was using previously.
