I wondered if there would be utility in creating a CLI tool which could be dockerized or made into a binary executable, enabling the features of the Python package to be made available in the command line. This could be useful for extending the usability of the library outside of a Python programming environment.
Using a tool like Typer a CLI tool could be built which would follow Unix principles, and be able to be used in scripts, one-liners, and other workflows, with the output being able to be piped from stdout into files or other programs.
This could be 'compiled' into a single executable which would remove the need for a Python installation environment.
Thoughts? It is clearly well beyond the necessary remit of the package but is an interesting 'stretch goal'.
