  • Python Fire

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

  • 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

  • typer

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

  • I think they're referencing typer cli. Traitlets is for object type enforcement. Are you thinking of the built in typing?

  • bpython

    bpython - A fancy curses interface to the Python interactive interpreter

  • bpython over built-in Python interpreter

  • RapidFuzz

    Rapid fuzzy string matching in Python using various string metrics
