Tools I use: argparse builder

Re:Tools I use: argparse builder by nvusuvu on Thursday October 08, 2020 @12:26PM (#24720667)

I use argparse daily. One CLI script I have uses over 1000 LOC to define all the commands/arguments/flags. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to unclutter my CLI script but still have the commands? Import them from another file, perhaps?

As another commenter here mentioned, you might want to consider fire [1], depending on the complexity of your argparse-usage it might check 90% of your boxes for you.
