CLI Templates for Python + Rust

Sunday, July 17, 2022

Do you also write a lot of services that need a few CLI option (e.g. --config) and or little CLI tools from time to time? Want a base CLI + logging to stderr template to start from?

I always do, so I have Python and Rust base CLI code templtes shared on GitHub that I use all the time:

https://github.com/cooperlees/base_clis

I also have sample base GitHub Actions to steal so that you can keep your:

  • Code tested
  • Code formatted
  • Type Checked / compiled
    on commit.

Dependabot will also keep the depdendecies up to date on these templates, so you can rely on them using the latest hotness.

Steal them today and contribute back handy enhancements as you see fit!

Python

Click based, using base logging function with a logging format I love. Logging is usally info or debug.

Rust

clap based, logging with a more standard glog like logging output.

  • -vvv to make it useful logging

Web UI

Gorgeous Web 0.69 design.

I often use a lot of PyPI CLI tools. Here is an example of how to get them easily installed and kept up to date via Ansible on Ubuntu >= 18.04.

Install base pip via apt then run pip:

- name: Get Python3 pip
  package:
    name: python3-pip
    state: latest

- name: Add some handy Python PyPI Tools
  pip:
    name: "{{ item }}"
    extra_args: --upgrade
  with_items:
    - "black"
    - "coverage"
    - "mypy"
    - "pip"
    - "setuptools"

Enjoy up to date core Python tools + handy CLIs for dev work.

Please do NOT use on a Production host ...

Python pip ‘editable’ installing

Monday, May 28, 2018

From time to time I get asked (and I even have to ask a coworker) for the best way to install a Python modules (especially ones with entry points) into a virtualenv and still edit / develop with them. It seems ​pip install's '-e' is very unknown.

pip install -e /path/you/are/editing

Will allow you to develop and run with all dependencies install in your virtualenv.

Happy dev'in!
