It abstracts away the complexity of terminal formatting and command parsing, allowing developers to focus on CLI logic rather than low-level I/O handling. The library depends on pastel for color/style rendering, pylev for string distance calculations, and crashtest for error handling.\n\nThe package is no longer maintained\u2014its last release was in June 2020, and the repository has seen no commits since August 2023. It was designed primarily as the foundation for Cleo, a higher-level CLI framework. While it carries no known security vulnerabilities and installs with low friction, its abandonment means no bug fixes, security patches, or compatibility updates for modern Python versions will be forthcoming.","worth_installing":"No\u2014unless you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on clikit. The package is abandoned and has not been updated since 2020. For new CLI projects, use Cleo (which builds on clikit but is actively maintained) or a modern alternative like Click or Typer. If you must use it, verify that all its dependencies remain compatible with your target Python version."},"id":"clikit","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/clikit","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/clikit.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/clikit/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-06-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"clikit","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"CliKit is a group of utilities to build beautiful and testable command line interfaces."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1539846,"position":3787,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.2"}
