Hi,
Thanks for the quick and detailed reply, I'm confident that I can work on
this. I'll start creating the project proposal.
I have some questions,
I considered several Python CLI frameworks and packages ( Click, Plac,
Cement, etc ) and found cmd2 package is more suitable for the need.
It supports both Interactive mode and Single command line mode. Have lot
of features like auto-complete, history, executing shell commands while in
Interactive Mode, etc. Their coding styles are also very clean and easy to
understand.
do_greet(self, arg):
print("Hello ", arg)
this would be,
stratos>greet Milindu
Hello Milindu
And it supports Unix-style flags also.
Only thing that is `-` can not be used. but `_` is possible.
def do_create_tenant(self, arg):
print("Created ")
this could be invoked as either,
stratos>create_tenant
or
stratos>create tenant
Would this be a problem? ( have to accommodate workarounds to get `-`
into action if you really need them ) I think I can provide a basic
implementation if you are interested.
Thank you
