Hi Folks, The requirement is to develop a CLI framework in python for a linux router. The suggestions i got is to use PyCli/Cliff. Not sure which would be the right choice! Also, a few APIs are mentioned here:
https://pythonhosted.org/pyCLI/#module-cli.app Since i couldn't find any actual implementation which uses pyCli, i can't figure out how to make use of pyCLI. Another question i have is whether it uses argparse? If so, what value add does PYCLI do?
