cliff -- Command Line Interface Formulation Framework

cliff is a framework for building command line programs. It uses setuptools entry points to provide subcommands, output formatters, and other extensions.

To do

  • Should commands have an explicit API for checking whether the user can invoke them?
  • example show app
  • change API for list app to expect a sequence of dictionaries?
  • unicode output for python 2 (incompatible with csv?)
  • json formatter(s)
  • pprint formatter(s)
  • pretty but non-table formatter(s)
  • shell script formatter(s)? (properties as variable names)
