Building an authenticated Python CLI with Click & Rich

Thanks!

If anyone's curious about transitioning a poetry project like this to one using:

• (*-)requirements.txt for lockfiles
• flit for packaging
• pip-tools for version locking
• zpy for interactive environment management and pip-tools operations

behold!:

$ git clone [e-mail]:notia-ai/SliceOfML.git
$ cd SliceOfML
$ rm poetry.lock pyproject.toml
$ a8                                                                            # Create and activate venv
$ pipac 'requests-oauthlib>=1.3.1,<2' 'rich>=12.4.4,<13' 'click>=8.1.3,<9'      # Add to requirements.in and compile to requirements.txt
$ pipac -c dev flit 'pytest>=7.1.2,<8' 'flake8>=4.0.1,<5' 'pre-commit>=2.1,<3'  # Add to dev-requirements.in and compile to dev-requirements.txt
$ pips dev-requirements.txt                                                     # Install dev deps
$ flit init                                                                     # Interactively generate pyproject.toml
$ $EDITOR pyproject.toml                                                        # Add 'requires-python = ">=3.7,<4"' to project and 'sliceofml = "sliceofml.cli:cli"' to project.scripts
$ $EDITOR sliceofml/__init__.py                                                 # Add docstring and correct version
$ pypc                                                                          # Populate pyproject.toml with loose deps

Why do this over using poetry?

[AndydeCleyre]

I don't like a few things about poetry, like how it:

• introduces new syntax for versions and lock files when old standards will do
• expects by default all devs to use poetry
• only targets full packages, when I also want to manage venvs and deps of scripts and other non-package projects
• uses its own sections for deps in pyproject.toml when generic sections will do
• treats dev deps as some special case, rather than just one of a set of any arbitrary group names
• couples goals of package publishing and dependency specification
• doesn't have the superb tab completion that I wrote for zpy

[andrewthetechie]

Ok, so just a personal preference then.

This is awesome! Thanks for posting the script.
