🚀 Typer: create modern CLIs with Python
#

Typer is a library that lets you build command-line applications (CLIs) quickly, clearly, and with very little code. It leverages Python type hints, which enables autocompletion, validation, and a very smooth development experience.

⭐ Key points
#

  • 🧩 Intuitive: you write it like regular Python functions.
  • Quick to use: it automatically generates --help and autocompletion.
  • 🧱 Scalable: suitable for both simple scripts and complex tools.
  • 🤝 Built on Click: inherits stability and ecosystem.

🟦 In short
#

  • A CLI is a program you run from the terminal by typing commands.
  • Typer lets you create those programs without learning a new syntax, just using Python functions.
  • It’s like giving your scripts superpowers so others can use them easily.
