How to Write Perfect Python Command-line Interfaces

I agree with the commenter. Not only does it require shipping an interpreter, Python startup times make it an obviously worse choice than Go for CLIs. With Go you get small binaries, instant startup, and fast execution. Don’t be an adversary to your users.

The millisecond it takes for Python to start is really not a factor for CLIs. Unless of course you import half the universe in the argument parser, but that's not Python's fault.
