click-didyoumean adds git-like command suggestions to click CLI applications, automatically recommending similar commands when a user types an invalid one.
Low install friction with a single runtime dependency on click. The package is dormant (872 days since last release as of the fact sheet date), though the repository remains active with a recent commit on 2024-03-27 and 101 stars, suggesting stable maintenance rather than abandonment.
Licensed under MIT (permissive), allowing free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions.
Usage
pip install click-didyoumean
import click
from click_didyoumean import DYMGroup
@click.group(cls=DYMGroup)
def cli():
pass
@cli.command()
def foo():
pass
if __name__ == "__main__":
cli()
Requires Python >=3.6.2 and click as a runtime dependency.
Verdict: A lightweight, permissively licensed extension for click that adds user-friendly command suggestions with no security vulnerabilities. Suitable for CLI projects seeking improved user experience; dormancy is not a concern given the stable repository state and broad Python version support (3.7–3.12).
Needs verification
- Whether the package's dormancy (872 days) reflects true stability or signals that maintenance may be limited if issues arise.
- Real-world performance impact of fuzzy matching on large command sets.
