-h --help -help help --? -? ????

• click

  32 15,026 8.0 Python

  Python composable command line interface toolkit

  

I really like Click, a Python library for building CLI programs. But one of the things that really bugs me about it is that by default it only uses --help for its help, leaving -h unbound. I have to add @click.help_options('-h', '--help') to every program I write just to get the behavior I think should be the default.

• typer

  87 14,347 8.7 Python

  Typer, build great CLIs. Easy to code. Based on Python type hints.

If you haven't used typer, give it a whirl. It's built on top of click but has a nicer interface (and does bind both -h and --help by default)
