COLT: COmmand Line Tool

Simple, extensible tool to create out of the box input files and commandline interfaces for Python, that are type validated. For the input file the ini file-format is used around Python's configparser.

Features

1. Build simple commandline interfaces using the FromCommandline-decorator

# examples/commandline_xrange.py
from colt import from_commandline


@from_commandline("""
# start of the range
xstart = :: int :: >0
# end of the range
xstop = :: int :: >1
# step size
step = 1 :: int
""")
def x_range(xstart, xstop, step):
   for i in range(xstart, xstop, step):
      print(i)

if __name__ == '__main__':
   x_range()

usage: commandline_xrange.py [-h] [-step step] xstart xstop

positional arguments:
   xstart      int, Range(>0)
               start of the range
   xstop       int, Range(>1)
               end of the range

optional arguments:
   -h, --help  show this help message and exit
   -step step  int,
               step size
