GitHub - tiangolo/typer-cli: Run Typer scripts with completion, without having to create a package, using Typer CLI. · GitHub
April 6, 2024 - The main repo, https://github.com/tiangolo/typer, publishes a PyPI package typer-cli (that used to be this repo), and that PyPI package does nothing other than depend on typer.
I just found out about Typer, which has made my CLI life much easier. How does everyone else keep current with key utilities and packages that are being released?

Hey all, Here is a tutorial I did on using the module "Typer". I use this module all the time when making CLI based scripts for my team. It's super easy to implement once you get the hang of it. If you rather just read the code you can see it on my website: https://devopslifecycle.com/lessons/17/python-command-line-tool-python-typer-tutorial Official documentation located here: https://typer.tiangolo.com/ More on reddit.com

January 20, 2021CLI 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.

Using the Typer library to build a CLI application
June 6, 2023 - @app.command() def hello(): first_name = typer.prompt("What's your first name?") last_name = typer.prompt("What's your last name?") print(f"Hello, {first_name} {last_name}. Welcome to this Typer example") @app.command() def goodbye(): same_name = typer.confirm("Do you still have the same name as before?") if not same_name: first_name = typer.prompt("What's your first name?") last_name = typer.prompt("What's your last name?") print(f"Goodbye for now, {first_name} {last_name}. Thanks for viewing this Typer example") And here is a sample result of the new code with the confirm being used: Hopefully these basic examples will help any readers out there who are unsure about how to take their Python code to a very simple CLI.

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.

r/Python on Reddit: Cyclopts: A CLI library that fixes 13 annoying issues in Typer
December 13, 2023 -
Like many users here, I've used Typer because of its popularity and how it seemingly removed a lot of boilerplate from CLI creation. However, after getting past the shiny exterior, I quickly found it unnecessary bloated function signatures, lacked a lot of features (such as supporting Literal types!), and the author is famous for not addressing issues and merging in pull-requests. So, I created my own CLI library, Cyclopts, that addresses all of these issues. Please check it out!

r/learnpython on Reddit: CLI package recommendations, Click or Typer
March 1, 2025 -
Anyone have recommendations on using Click or Typer for my first CLI tool? Click looks good and claims to solve some problems of argpase and typer. I am leaning towards using it but wanted to see how people view using that as opposed to just argpase. I hope it will be a good project with collaborators so I want to start the project off with something that works well and has good base for other collaborators.

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.
