Cmd2specific

Cmd2specific is a Python library designed to facilitate the creation of command-line interfaces (CLIs) by providing a more structured and specific approach to handling command arguments and options. It builds upon the functionality of existing libraries, aiming to offer enhanced control and clarity in how user inputs are interpreted and processed. The library allows developers to define commands and their associated arguments and options with greater precision, leading to more robust and user-friendly command-line applications.

One of the key features of Cmd2specific is its emphasis on type-specific argument parsing. This means that developers can declare the expected data type for each argument or option, such as integers, floats, strings, or booleans. The library then automatically handles the conversion and validation of user input, raising errors if the provided data does not conform to the specified type. This reduces the amount of boilerplate code required for input validation, allowing developers to focus on the core logic of their applications.

Cmd2specific also provides mechanisms for defining required versus optional arguments, as well as default values for options. This aids in creating CLIs that are both flexible and predictable. The library's design promotes a clear separation between the definition of the command-line interface and its execution logic, making the code more organized and maintainable. It aims to simplify the development process for complex command-line tools.
