[New feature] Switching from argparse to click #304

Closed akmazian closed 4 months ago

akmazian commented 7 months ago

Just a random thought, but is it feasible to convert the cli from argparse to click?

Rationale
- Makes code more readable!
- Allows for a more "prompt-ful" interaction

My plan is to eventually move the OpenVax shell commands to have typed entry functions and use https://github.com/anntzer/defopt for the CLI. Curious to hear your rationale for click instead.
