No. Do not install this package. The package's own documentation explicitly warns against installation. Install typer instead, which includes all functionality and is actively maintained. This package exists only as a deprecated migration path for old projects and will receive no further updates.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >=3.10; this package is explicitly deprecated and should not be used for new projects.
- Low friction to install, but the package itself is deprecated and no longer maintained.
- The repository remains active, but this specific package will receive no further updates.

What it is and what it does
typer-cli is a deprecated package that serves only as a migration bridge for legacy projects that previously depended on it. It contains no code of its own and simply depends on typer. The package's entire purpose is to allow old projects to update their dependencies without breaking, while guiding them toward installing typer directly instead.
The actual CLI functionality—building command-line applications using Python type hints—lives in typer, not in typer-cli. This package is a hollow redirect and will not receive any future updates or maintenance.
Use it for
- Updating legacy projects that explicitly depend on typer-cli to migrate them to typer without breaking their build process
- Understanding why typer-cli exists and why it should be removed from new projects in favor of typer
- Maintaining backward compatibility in old dependency specifications while transitioning to the main typer package
