cli2: Python Automation Framework

A Python command line and Ansible Action plugin framework that loves meta programming: do less and get more out of it, perfect for many kinds of DevOps gigs to automate everything.

Batteries included, all of which are useful on their own:

• beautiful CLI alternative to click, but much less verbose, allowing more creative design patterns without any boilerplate thanks to introspection

• which comes with a Sphinx extension to extensively document your CLIs

• magic 12-factor configuration library

• extremely beautiful structlog configuration for colorful and readable logging

• httpx client wrapper that handles all kind of retries, data masking…

• magic ORM for HTTP resources based on that client

• Ansible Action plugin library with all the beautiful logging and a rich testing library so that you can go straight to the point in pytest

• a good old fcntl based locking

• a command line to run any python function over a beautiful CLI
