Defopt generates cli from function interface: https://defopt.readthedocs.io/en/stable/features.html

The alternative is either you maintain two interfaces with boilerplate, or write a cli only if that’s the first priority.

Similar solutions exist, like fire. But fire’s cli is like an afterthought, in the sense it gives people a way to run things in command line where they already know how to run it from Python.

I wrote some stuff a while back to try and bridge this kind of issue.

I wrote a spec: https://gitlab.com/accidentallythecable-public/argstruct-spe...

And additionally, a library to build cli args and flags as well as api data from the same structure: https://gitlab.com/accidentallythecable-public/python-module...

This allows you to build an argstruct file specifying commands, ars, descriptions, etc. You can then run an arbitrary callback against the commands, or use argparser for commandline
