I have used click/typer packages to build some python-based CLI programs. It's easy and user-friendly way to build, but the amount of time it takes for python to start the environment followed by the actual program to do anything is annoying.

Tangent, but anyone who's a fan of Typer, I'd massively recommend Cyclopts! It's essentially the same design, but takes advantage of some of the type features python introduced post Typer being written, to make things a little more consise.

I use python click too, and it helps me to focus on design before implementing.

I mean before asking AI to implement :)
