CLI package recommendations, Click or Typer
For your first CLI tool I would just use `argparse`. It's worth knowing how to use because it's always available and doesn't require any extra dependencies. It's also *significantly* faster than all of the alternatives. If you're launching a long process this may not matter, but if it's a CLI for short lived commands the import time alone of some of these libraries can be a significant chunk of your runtime.

I built a CLI tool with Typer & Rich, but I think I over-engineered it
def import_wallpapers( source: Path = typer.Option(LEGACY_PATH, help="Source directory to import from"), verbose: bool = False You're kind of using the old-style typer options (and the older type annotations too - eg List instead of list, Optional[int] instead of int | None etc). Possibly this is just to support older python/typer versions, but it's worth noting that the newer way to do this is with annotations. Ie you'd write it as: source: typing.Annotated[Path, typer.Option(help="Source directory to import from") = LEGACY_PATH, This has the advantage that it preserves the python meaning of default args (eg. the function is usable as a regular function as well as a CLI descriptor), consistent with the way you write args that don't take annotation, and it lets it be type checked correctly (Option basically fudges typing by just returning Any, meaning if you put the wrong type for LEGACY_PATH, it won't be caught, and won't pass stricter checks where you forbid Any) More on reddit.com

November 1, 2022 - Typer is great, I highly recommend using rich with it for things like progress bars, and colors in print statements. It looks really slick. Trying new things, and googling lots. ... Try this... ... IPython uses pygments and prompt-toolkit, you would have better luck using those to control colours on your prompt rather than adding a third library to the mix. ... I'd suggest following a couple of Python podcasts.
