Asyncclick is a fork of Click (described below) that works with trio or asyncio.
AsyncClick allows you to seamlessly use async command and subcommand handlers.
Click is a Python package for creating beautiful command line interfaces in a composable way with as little code as necessary. It's the "Command Line Interface Creation Kit". It's highly configurable but comes with sensible defaults out of the box.
It aims to make the process of writing command line tools quick and fun while also preventing any frustration caused by the inability to implement an intended CLI API.
Click in three points:
- Arbitrary nesting of commands
- Automatic help page generation
- Supports lazy loading of subcommands at runtime
import asyncclick as click
import anyio
@click.command()
@click.option("--count", default=1, help="Number of greetings.")
@click.option("--name", prompt="Your name", help="The person to greet.")
async def hello(count, name):
"""Simple program that greets NAME for a total of COUNT times."""
for _ in range(count):
click.echo(f"Hello, {name}!")
await anyio.sleep(0.2)
if __name__ == '__main__':
hello()
# alternately: anyio.run(hello.main)
$ python hello.py --count=3
Your name: Click
Hello, Click!
Hello, Click!
Hello, Click!
