scriptFI

scriptFI is a Python library designed to simplify the process of writing command-line interfaces (CLIs) in Python. It aims to make it easier for developers to create applications that can be controlled and interacted with via the terminal. The library provides a declarative way to define commands, arguments, and options, reducing the amount of boilerplate code typically required for CLI development.

Key features of scriptFI include automatic parsing of command-line arguments, built-in support for help messages, and the ability to define nested commands. This allows for the creation of complex CLI structures with subcommands and different execution paths. scriptFI handles the underlying argument parsing using Python's `argparse` module but abstracts away much of the complexity. Developers can define their commands and their associated parameters using simple Python decorators and function definitions.

The library promotes a clean and organized structure for CLI applications. By separating the command logic from the argument parsing, scriptFI enhances code readability and maintainability. It is suitable for both small utility scripts and larger, more complex command-line tools. The focus on a Pythonic approach makes it intuitive for developers already familiar with the language.
