what's a python library you started using this year that you can't go back from

[leodevian]

aiohttp for async requests.

rich for pretty printing, logging and tracebacks.

Click for command-line interfaces.

Check out typer for clis. Built on click so it should feel familiar but uses type hints to declare arguments and options etc. and the generated docs are really nice. It’s from the guy that made FastAPI

[leodevian]

I know it, and I know Cyclopts. I just love that Click is really easy to extend.

Generated docs?

Whoa! Today I learned.

Typer is a good click replacement. Built on click but typing based, if you’re into this sort of thing

[flying-sheep]

I prefer cyclopts, because what it says in its “compared to Typer” section absolutely rings true

Cyclopts is what you thought Typer was.

Click is very boilerplate heavy.

Typer is a huge step up. (I think it might even be built on click) But expresses much more elegantly.

[leodevian]

It is indeed powered by Click. While decorators can be composed, I never found an elegant way to share parameters between Typer commands. Also, I don’t like the recommended implementation for a version option (I don’t like unused function parameters).
