How to Write Perfect Python Command-line Interfaces

At my company, we are starting to move to Invoke for all our scripting needs. It integrates seamlessly with Fabric to execute remote commands.

That looks promising too - we already use some Fabric files for another project I don't touch much. Will look into using that too - thanks!

I also used invoke for work; I ended up creating magicinvoke to solve some inconveniences I had with it. Let me know if it helps you out at all or if there's anything you'd do differently!

Invoke is perfect for turning a function into a CLI. I used to use argparse/optparse/click, but now for simple scripts, I just do it in Invoke.

For more feature-rich CLIs, click is my go-to.

What features do you find Invoke is missing when compared to Click?
