Package: clint2
Clintis a module filled with a set of awesome tools for developing
commandline applications.CommandLineINterfaceTools
.Clint is awesome. Crazy awesome. It supports colors, but detects if the session is a TTY, so doesn’t render the colors if you’re piping stuff around. Automagically.Awesome nest-able indentation context manager. Example: (with indent(4):puts('indentedtext')). It supports custom email-style quotes. Of course, it supports color too, if and when needed.It has an awesome Column printer with optional auto-expanding columns. It detects how wide your current console is and adjusts accordingly. It wraps your words properly to fit the column size. With or without colors mixed in. All with a single function call.The world’s easiest to use implicit argument system w/ chaining methods for filtering. Seriously.Run the various executables inexamplesto get a good feel for what Clint offers.You’ll never want to not use it.Current Features:Little Documentation (bear with me for now)CLI Colors and IndentsExtremely Simple + Powerful Column PrinterIterator-based Progress BarImplicit Argument HandlingSimple Support for Incoming Unix PipesApplication Directory managementFuture Features:Documentation!Simple choice systemAre you sure?

# if no argument was passed, get returns NoneI want to store a configuration file.>>> from clint import resources

>>> resources.init('Company', 'AppName')
>>> resources.user.write('config.ini', file_contents)

# OSX: '/Users/appuser/Library/Application Support/AppName/config.ini'
