clint

I don't think anything is missing, but you don't get it all in one package. click ( http://click.pocoo.org/6/ ) has a lot of this stuff in one package, but not everything, eg. composable command lines, progress bars, spinners, prompts, bash completion, colors, paging, launching common applications ($EDITOR) 'n stuff like that. pyinvoke has a somewhat different focus, but also quite some stuff similar to this. clint ( https://github.com/kennethreitz/clint ) is another bag of tools, with things like awesome tables, colors, progress bars, ...

I should write up a comparison between: - Cement (http://builtoncement.com) - Cliff (http://cliff.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) - Plumbum (http://plumbum.readthedocs.org) - Argh (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/argh/0.24.1) - Aaargh (https://github.com/wbolster/aaargh) - Baker (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Baker/) So many more to choose from. Now we get to evaluate Click. Seems like the reason Armin wrote Click was to load options dynamically, but that's what Cliff does via stevedore (https://github.com/dreamhost/stevedore). My favorite feature about Cliff though is: http://cliff.readthedocs.org/en/latest/complete.html which comes out of the box, but then again, there's Argcomplete (https://github.com/kislyuk/argcomplete). EDIT: Updating from previous posters - Naked (http://naked-py.com) - Docopt (http://docopt.org) - Clint (https://github.co
