Check Out Click - Part I Click - A Pleasure
To Write, A Pleasure To Use (PyCon US 2016)
Seb • @elbaschid • Freelance Coder at Roadside Software •
Outdoor Tour Guide • Vancouver ➡ Rocky Mountains
Why This Talk?
Terminology
Parameter • Argument • Option
Argument • Mandatory parameter • Only values required What It
Looks Like: $ pgcli postgresql://....
Option • Optional parameter • Name and value required •
Flags as special options What It Looks Like: $ heroku --help $ heroku logs --app my-heroku-app
(Sub-)Command • Nested commands allowed • Groups sub-commands • Has
options & arguments What It Looks Like: $ pip install django
Introducing Click
click • Author: Armin Ronacher • Version 6.x • http://click.pocoo.org/6/
• Why Click?
Let's Use It
pip install click
Basic Example # cli.py import click @click.command() @click.option('--times', '-t', type=int)
@click.argument('symbol') def main(times, symbol): print(f'I {symbol * times} Click!') if __name__ == '__main__': main()
Running It $ python test.py -t 5 ❤ I ❤❤❤❤❤
Click!
Breaking It $ python test.py -t five ❤ Usage: test.py
[OPTIONS] SYMBOL Error: Invalid value for "--times" / "-t": five is not a valid integer
Predict The Weather
Using A Web API
Github Repos • Click Template: bit.ly/click-template • Example Code: bit.ly/double-click-example
We Are Building • weather config • weather forecast LOCATION
weather config $ weather config Please enter your API key
[]: mysecretapikey $ cat ~/.weather.cfg mysecretapikey
weather forecast $ weather forecast Montreal Time Description Min Temp
Max Temp ============================================================ Tue, Nov 14 @ 00h clear sky -2.3 2.1 Tue, Nov 14 @ 03h clear sky -2.8 0.1 Tue, Nov 14 @ 06h few clouds -2.7 -1.2 Tue, Nov 14 @ 09h few clouds -2.9 -2.9 ... ... ... ...
Multiple Commands
Group import click @click.command() def main(): pass
Group import click @click.group() def main(): pass
config Command @click.command() def config(): pass

Save The Key def config(config_file, api_key): api_key = click.prompt( 'Please

Look At The Weather

Custom Parameter Type
The Return Type from collections import namedtuple Location = namedtuple('Location',
['query', 'value'])
Our Location Type class LocationType(click.ParamType): name = 'location' def convert(self,
value, param, ctx): try: value = int(value) except ValueError: query = 'q' else: query = 'id' return Location(query, value)
Use It @main.command() @click.argument('location', type=LocationType()) def forecast(location): ... url =
'https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast' params = { location.query: location.value, } response = session.get(url, params=params) ...

Don't Break It
The Test Runner from click.testing import CliRunner def test_writing_config_file(): runner

Choose A License It's a minefield, people. All I'm saying
is this: the next time you release code into the wild, do your fellow developers a favor and pick a license – any license. — Coding Horror
Start With Here # setup.py setup( name='double-click-weather', version='0.0.1', license='MIT', ...
)
Create The Executable # setup.py setup( ... entry_points={'console_scripts': [ 'weather

pip install double-click-weather
