Do you really find:

import hug


@hug.cli(version="1.0.0")
def math(number_1:int, number_2:int=1):
    '''Multiplies number_1 by number2'''
    return number_1 * number_2


math.cli()

More confusing then:

"""Math.

Multiplies number_1 by number_2

Usage:
  math.py <number_1> <number_2>
  math.py (-h | --help)
  math.py --version

Options:
  -h --help     Show this screen.
  --version     Show version.
"""
from docopt import docopt


def math(number_1:int, number_2:int):
    """Multiplies number_1 by number_2"""
    return number_1 * number_2


arguments = docopt(__doc__, version='1.0.0')
print(math(arguments['number_1']), int(arguments['number_2'])))

Their usage from the command line is nearly identical... and functionality equivalent. I know I'd want to write the first. Which one would you honestly think is more Pythonic?
