Version v1.2.3.2 as of 2022-06-02 see Changelog
small toolset to properly exit a cli application:
- print the traceback information (can be set with commandline option)
- get a proper exit code from the Exception
- flush the streams, to make sure output is written in proper order
- demo how to integrate into Your cli module (see usage)
automated tests, Travis Matrix, Documentation, Badges, etc. are managed with PizzaCutter (cookiecutter on steroids)
Python version required: 3.6.0 or newer
tested on recent linux with python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, pypy-3.8 - architectures: amd64
100% code coverage, flake8 style checking ,mypy static type checking ,tested under Linux, macOS, Windows, automatic daily builds and monitoring

Parameter
---------
trace_back
if traceback information should be printed. This is usually set early
in the CLI application to the config object via a commandline option.
length_limit
int, limits the length of the message
stream
optional, to which stream to print, default = stderr

--------

- Before You start, its highly recommended to update pip and setup tools:
python -m pip --upgrade pip python -m pip --upgrade setuptools
- to install the latest release from PyPi via pip (recommended):
python -m pip install --upgrade cli_exit_tools
- to install the latest version from github via pip:
python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/bitranox/cli_exit_tools.git
- include it into Your requirements.txt:
# Insert following line in Your requirements.txt: # for the latest Release on pypi: cli_exit_tools # for the latest development version : cli_exit_tools @ git+https://github.com/bitranox/cli_exit_tools.git # to install and upgrade all modules mentioned in requirements.txt: python -m pip install --upgrade -r /<path>/requirements.txt
- to install the latest development version from source code:
# cd ~ $ git clone https://github.com/bitranox/cli_exit_tools.git $ cd cli_exit_tools python setup.py install
- via makefile: makefiles are a very convenient way to install. Here we can do much more, like installing virtual environments, clean caches and so on.
# from Your shell's homedirectory:
$ git clone https://github.com/bitranox/cli_exit_tools.git
$ cd cli_exit_tools
# to run the tests:
$ make test
# to install the package
$ make install
# to clean the package
$ make clean
# uninstall the package
$ make uninstall
following modules will be automatically installed :
