Top 17 Python Command-line Application Development Projects
-
Python Fire
Python Fire is a library for automatically generating command line interfaces (CLIs) from absolutely any Python object.

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 used this template repo to make a bash cli https://github.com/SierraSoftworks/bash-cli then I made a brew formula to make it installable. It provide a nice way to make a cli with nested commands like git. As others mentioned other languages like python have great support for making nice clis see https://typer.tiangolo.com/ for an example framework in python. I chose bash because packaging a python cli for a private brew package is a pain and 99% of what I needed the cli to do was inkoke other clis, so bash made sense for my case.

Project mention: Show HN: Replbuilder, quickly build a Python REPL CLI prompt | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-02-19
> The purpose is not to do this however, the goal for a repl cli is usually to invoke a set of particular, already implemented commands, not on the fly python input and output. The implementation will be predefined and packaged, repl are only used to run a list of specific commands with arguments that implementation has already defined.
That's a very strange definition for a REPL, I would just call that an (interactive) CLI. Maybe that's why you couldn't find anything when you were doing your search? I used python-prompt-toolkit [0] when building such interfaces. pgcli [1] is an example of such an interface built with prompt-toolkit.
It has a lot of nice autocomplete and readline emulation options. Maybe it's something you can integrate with your project.

Project mention: Docopt.sh – Command-Line Argument Parser for Bash 3.2, 4, and 5 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-03-16
For anyone unfamiliar, docopt is an established standard for specifying arguments in a script’s doc string. I use it for Python and it’s lovely. You’re going to write a docstring with examples anyway, why not make them functional?
-
asciimatics
A cross platform package to do curses-like operations, plus higher level APIs and widgets to create text UIs and ASCII art animations
Project mention: I'm making a notes app and am up to making an 'edit' feature, but have no way of making changes to a file's contents, let alone saving the changes and writing them to the file | reddit.com/r/learnpython | 2023-01-19Scroll down to the TUI example in the README, just above the documentation link: https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics

Since you are building a TUI (textual user interface), you might benefit from libraries like https://github.com/kennethreitz-archive/clint or https://github.com/Textualize/rich
