Request for a CLI tool based on Click #6

Python version: 3.6.9
Operating System: Bodhi Linu 6

Description

I love the REPL session which you have created with the python package. I would also love to have a simple CLI tool based on Click python package too.

Something like cdsl [--dict] MW [--input_transliteration=slp1] [--output_transliteration=slp1] rAma would print the MW entries related to rAma on the terminal itself.

What I Did

Feature request.

This is a great suggestion! I will definitely work on this.

Is there any specific reason for suggesting Click though? I find python's argparse good enough. Additionally, fire is a great tool for CLI too.

Nothing in particular for Click. I once wrote a python code, and it was a matter of only a few decorators in click. In no time, the same code which was working for python package, was working as a CLI tool seamlessly.

You may choose the one which suits you.

I am moving the REPL to cdsl -i or cdsl --interactive and otherwise it'll be a normal CLI. (Reference: e8b732466e6117f3ccf4a9f14c9a9f1e100aaf35)

This can be tried by cloning the repository and make install. Currently, CLI is still a work in progress. It'll be complete with the next minor version upgrade.

Release 0.3.0 adds support for it. Documentation is still pending. Will add that soon.
