Tools for developing and testing command line interfaces in Python.
qcli (canonically pronounced queue sea el eye) is being designed to make QIIME's Command Line Interface framework a standalone package, as it is becoming apparent that it will be useful in tools other than QIIME, and QIIME itself is a very heavy-weight dependency. The name of this package may change as it reaches maturity.
Development will primarily occur in the Caporaso and Knight labs (at Northern Arizona University and University of Colorado, respectively), but the goal is for this to be a very open development effort. We accept code submissions as pull requests.
For now, you should direct questions to gregcaporaso@gmail.com.
