What is Click Extra?

It should be easy to write a good CLI in Python. Click makes it so. But there is still hundrends of tweaks to implement by yourself to have a user-friendly CLI.

Click Extra is a ready-to-use wrapper around Click to make your CLI look good and behave well. It is a drop-in replacement with good defaults that saves lots of boilerplate code and frustration by making all parts working together.

It also comes with workarounds and patches that have not reached upstream yet (or are unlikely to).

Example

It transforms this vanilla click CLI:

click CLI help screen

Into this:

click-extra CLI help screen

To undestrand how we ended up with the result above, go read the tutorial.
