Arguably – The best Python CLI library, arguably
I spent the past few weeks working on arguably. It uses your function signatures and docstrings to create a CLI. I built it to have the most common features of other libraries (and a few extra) in a much more concise syntax - no need for @click.option or typer.Option. It succeeds when you barely notice it's there. For most cases, you decorate a function with @arguably.command, and it just does what you'd expect: * Positional args for the function become positional CLI args * Keyword-only args become --options * Type hints set up parsing * Docstrings provide help messages for each command and…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
I spent the past few weeks working on arguably. It uses your function signatures and docstrings to create a CLI. I built it to have the most common features of other libraries (and a few extra) in a much more concise syntax - no need for @click.option or typer.Option. It succeeds when you barely notice it's there. For most cases, you decorate a function with @arguably.command, and it just does what you'd expect: * Positional args for the function become positional CLI args * Keyword-only args become --options * Type hints set up parsing * Docstrings provide help messages for each command and argument This also means it's good at making a script into a CLI without any integration at all, like Python Fire does. Just run `python3 -m arguably your_script.py` to give your script a CLI. This is my first time making an open-source project with real testing and documentation, definitely a learning experience. mkdocs didn't work for me at first, so I wrote some wild workarounds: https://treykeown.github.io/arguably/contributing/#building-...

- PPPractical Python Projects book release2021 · practicalpython.yasoob.me · ▲88
Hi everyone! I just released the Practical Python Projects book! (https://practicalpython.yasoob.me) I am happy to announce the first version as a release candidate. I have poured a lot of love into writing this book and would love to hear what you guys think. (A limited 100% off and discount coupons at the end) This is not a pure beginner book. The book does assume some background Python knowledge. You need to know the basics like methods, functions, classes, and such. If I use something that is not typically covered in beginner Python books, I will explain it before I use it.…

- OSOpen-Sourced AI CLI Tool2025 · code2docs-open-source.netlify.app · ▲9
I’ve been working on Code2Docs, an open-source CLI tool that helps developers automatically generate inline documentation (docstrings + comments) for Python code using AI. It’s built to solve a common problem I’ve faced (and seen often in teams): We code by "vibe" — fast iterations, minimal docs, and then forget what the logic was months later. Code2Docs helps bridge that gap by documenting as you go — without breaking your flow. Right now it supports function-level documentation. Planned features include: - README.md generation for projects - API endpoint docs - Database schema…

@cmpyl Tweet a line of python at it (right now it works best with math) and it'll tweet back at you the return value. Ex: https://twitter.com/#!/cmpyl/status/186850674053615616 Pretty useless little bot but it will be cool to see what sort of wild one liners it finds.
- FAFuncy – AWS Lambda strongly typed, best practice2024 · github.com · ▲9
Hi, Please check out my new library funcy. It's really simplified AWS Lambda APIs in my projects, so I thought I would open-source it. It strongly-types all request parameters, has support for CORS, content-negotiation, security headers, etc.. out of the box and works via a very simply declarative interface with progressive disclosure. It's currently pre-release, let me know what you think :)

Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
