I recommend using the Typer library

[leynier]

Docs: https://typer.tiangolo.com

It defines itself as: Typer is a library for building CLI applications that users will love using and developers will love creating. Based on Python 3.6+ type hints.

If the recommendation is accepted, I can make a pull request integrating Typer and other initial settings using this cookie-cutter https://github.com/leynier/python-template

Initial Settings

• Management of dependencies with Poetry
• Generation of documentation based on Markdown with Material for Mkdocs
• Automatic check of the pythonic style with flake8, black and isort
• Automatic code checking with pytest
• Automatic code report with codecov
• Automatic code reviews with deepsource
• Automatic publish to GitHub Releases
• Automatic publish to PyPI
• Automatic dependency update check with dependabot

All of the above via GitHub Actions and GitHub Pages

I love Typer, but I don't want to depend on anything on this particular project (at least now) because then it fails to be "zero-dependencies". I have to think about it, but for now, no dependencies beyond the standard library, no package management, nada.

I got it, thank you very much. So, I will close the issue. I really like the idea and purpose of this project, congratulations. 👌🏼 👌🏼 👌🏼

However... on a second thought, I'd be willing to complicate pydock with additional dependencies, provided we package it as a Docker image, hence the user never has to install anything. They would download a simple bash script into /usr/bin/pydock that proxies args to a docker run ... and the whole of pydock would run inside a container. This would be some sort of inception-level shit, because pydock would then be managed and bundled with pydock itself 🤣

[apiad]

In any case, I don't think we want to have a Python package, i.e., no pip install pydock, as this would be against our own predicament.

Package management could be used only for the development scope, to install the dependencies related to type and format checking in addition to tests, etc.
