typer-cli

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

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

This package is a deprecated migration shim that exists only to redirect users to the main typer package; it has no independent functionality.

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.

Install

typer-cli on PyPI

pip install typer-cli

uv add typer-cli

poetry add typer-cli

Installing typer-cli

Before you install

Low friction to install, but the package itself is deprecated and no longer maintained.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.

License in practice

MIT license permits free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, making it safe from a licensing perspective—though the package's deprecated status is the real concern.

Quickstart

# Do not install typer-cli. Instead:
pip install typer

# Then use typer directly:
import typer

app = typer.Typer()

@app.command()
def hello(name: str):
    print(f"Hello {name}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app()

Requires Python >=3.10; this package is explicitly deprecated and should not be used for new projects.

Verify before relying

• Whether typer is a suitable replacement for existing typer-cli users without code changes
• Timeline for when this package will stop receiving published versions
