Hi, Then shall we go with Cmd2 python package? Only change we have to do is call CLI commands with '_ ' instead '-', like 'list_tenants' instead of 'list-tenants'.
And for HTTP request/response handling, we can use either Python's urllib3 or Requests, a wrapper around urllib3 which gives much simpler API that leads to cleaner codes. It's been praised in the community from the beginning.
