Simplified Scripts with Google’s Python-Fire

Writing argument parsers and handling nested commands with argparse is ugly to all except pure Python advocates. Click, docopt, Clint and countless other libraries are evidence of the Python community’s enduring dissatisfaction. Each were beautiful in their own right, but all added levels of complexity that all but the libraries’ initiated understood. Google’s Python Fire eliminates complexity other libraries have added which is reflected in its rapid rise in popularity. Simply define your functions, classes, or both and expected command line arguments are implicitly parsed from their signatures.
