When you run your app with no arguments, it enters a persistent shell prompt where users can type commands repeatedly; if arguments are passed, it behaves like a normal click app. The shell includes command completion built on Python's cmd module, adapted to work with click's command structure.\n\nThe package is designed for developers who want to turn existing click applications into interactive utilities with minimal code changes\u2014typically just swapping the @click.group decorator for @click_shell.shell. It's useful when you want users to run multiple commands in a session without restarting the process each time.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you have a click app and want to add interactive shell mode with minimal effort. The package is stable, has low install friction, and is actively maintained. The main caveat is that the last release was in 2021\u2014verify compatibility with your Python version before relying on it for new projects."},"id":"click-shell","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/click-shell","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/click-shell.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/click-shell/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-06-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"click-shell","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"An extension to click that easily turns your click app into a shell utility"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":101297,"position":12948,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1"}
