Project mention: Control Linux based distros using hand gestures using OpenCV, GTK, Mediapipe | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-14Are you by chance interested in a command named after the four-letter word, which automatically fixes and reruns the last command: https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck
tested the end points using httpie and sometime curl
Project mention: CLI tools hidden in the Python standard library | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-29The cli tool [fire](https://github.com/google/python-fire/blob/master/docs/guide...) has a nifty feature where it can generate a cli for any file for you.
So random and math are somewhat usable that way
$ python -m fire random uniform 0 1
Project mention: Ask HN: How do you bootstrap your software projects? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-07Sometimes I use this to abstract boilerplate https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter
It can use a repo as a template.
It supports some interactive questions to choose options but mostly it is jinja templates.
Having libraries would be another option.
The name conflicts with a similar python module that allows one to turn any Python console program into a GUI with one line.
Project mention: click-web: Serve click scripts over the web (Python) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-13Context: "click" - "Command Line Interface Creation Kit" - easily create CLIs from Python code, via adding decorators: https://github.com/pallets/click
"click-web" in turn turns the click CLI app into a web app with one line of code.
The AWS CLI is a must-have tool if your team relies on Amazon Web Services. It lets you effortlessly interact with AWS services, orchestrate resource management, and automate tasks from the comfort of your terminal. Once you get used to the tool, you'll notice how convenient and quick it is to fit into your processes – especially compared to going through AWS's web-based user interface.
Project mention: Does anyone prefer the CLI over the shell, or other way around? If so, why? | /r/mysql | 2023-04-23Also, check out MyCLI. https://github.com/dbcli/mycli "Terminal Client for MySQL with AutoCompletion and Syntax Highlighting"
In this case, you'd be looking at https://github.com/gleitz/howdoi/blob/master/howdoi/howdoi.py
Project mention: Docopt: Command-line interface description language | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-28
Project mention: PathPicker: A CLI tool that lets you select files out of bash output | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-13
For small apps, I may choose a TUI (Terminal User Interface). Curses for Python is very lightweight, but quite low level and difficult to use for anything more than a very simple interface (if your app tries to draw outside of the drawing area, the app crashes, so you have to carefully manage every detail). Textual and asciimatics are both mature TUI frameworks that provide a higher level and more Pythonic way to create TUI's.
Project mention: [Newbie question] struggling with colour change on user input | /r/pythonhelp | 2023-05-28Try using https://github.com/tartley/colorama, that should straighten out most low level problems. If you still have issues, you need to adjust your color scheme in pycharm.
Project mention: Show HN: LineSelect, shell utility to interactively select lines in a pipeline | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-05Some other options:
1. Piping into `fzf -m` (use tab to toggle selections and built-in search to filter options).
2. Percol https://github.com/mooz/percol (also has filtering, use ctrl-space to toggle selection).
