Is there something similar but for Python?

I don't think anything is missing, but you don't get it all in one package.

click ( http://click.pocoo.org/6/ ) has a lot of this stuff in one package, but not everything, eg. composable command lines, progress bars, spinners, prompts, bash completion, colors, paging, launching common applications ($EDITOR) 'n stuff like that.

pyinvoke has a somewhat different focus, but also quite some stuff similar to this.

clint ( https://github.com/kennethreitz/clint ) is another bag of tools, with things like awesome tables, colors, progress bars, ...

The Cement CLI framework for python looks similar: http://builtoncement.com/

lots of cli frameworks around... but most arent as comprehensive or well documented as the OPs.

i personally like plumbum, but its definitely not the same. https://github.com/tomerfiliba/plumbum

+1, would be great to have something like that as an integrated toolkit on the Python (more specifically, Python 3) side. I currently use tqdm for progress bar, but it'd be great to also have a spinner and the rest of the goodies.
