RFC: Add external dependency on click #39

Closed jbernard closed 8 years ago

jbernard commented 10 years ago

At the moment, dotfiles does not depend on any additional python packages and can be run directly from a cloned git repository. I've been looking at mitsuhiko's click project [1] and there are some nice benefits of adding that library as a runtime dependency. Specifically, command line option parsing could support both the existing syntax (--add, --list, etc) but could also support commands as git does (dotfiles add "path to file"). It also has bash completion baked in, so very little effort would yield a nicer user experience.

But, you would have to install an additional dependency. Does this bother anyone, or is a runtime dependency no big deal?

I don't mind having an external dependency, as I pip install dotfiles anyway. Would be nice to have tab completion support.
