Implementations of common CLI patterns on top of Click
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building Click-based CLIs and want to reduce repetitive decorator definitions. The package is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, and depends only on click. However, note its 'Development Status :: 1 - Planning' classifier—verify whether that reflects actual stability before relying on it in production.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires click as a runtime dependency; intended for use with WSGI applications.
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency on click.
- Active maintenance with recent commits and releases spanning since 2020.

What it is and what it does
More Click is a library of reusable Click decorators and helper functions that reduce boilerplate when building command-line interfaces. It provides pre-configured options like `verbose_option` for logging control, `host_option` and `port_option` for web server configuration, and higher-level utilities like `make_web_command()` that wrap WSGI applications for CLI execution. The package is designed to let developers quickly add common CLI patterns without repeating decorator definitions across projects.
The library is particularly useful for packages that include optional web components. Rather than eagerly importing web dependencies at CLI startup, more_click uses WSGI-style string references to defer loading until needed. It can automatically choose between Flask's development server and gunicorn based on CLI flags, making it practical for both development and production deployment scenarios.
Use it for
- Add a `--verbose` flag to a CLI tool that controls package logger verbosity
- Create a web command that runs a WSGI app with configurable host and port options
- Build a CLI that can switch between development server and gunicorn via a flag
- Wrap a WSGI application for CLI execution without eagerly importing dependencies at startup
- Organize multiple CLI commands in a Click group with shared host and port options
