  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.

• cookiecutter

  Might be better to turn this into a cookiecutter template:

• Gooey

  Project mention: RE-WX: A Python library for building modern native desktop applications with WXPython | reddit.com/r/Python | 2021-01-18

  This is something which grew out of another library I work on called Gooey. After 6 years of tinkering on that thing, I was fed up with the clunky workflows forced upon you by WXPython's awkward C++ wrappers.

• aws-cli

  Universal Command Line Interface for Amazon Web Services

  Project mention: APi Response Error: "Policies must be valid JSON and the first byte must be '{'" When Trying To Adjust CORS | reddit.com/r/aws | 2021-02-23

  When you say you are following that documentation, are you actually doing this using the CORS policy editor in the console? When I looked up this error I saw it in reference to the put-bucket-policy api: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/2779

  Project mention: Commandline Database Clients with Autocompletion and Syntax Highlighting | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-02-18

  In what way did it blow up? You must have hit a bug, using .pg_service should work. Would you care to open an issue on https://github.com/dbcli/pgcli/issues or just dump the error message here so we can investigate?

  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?
