Trogon is a Python library that auto-generates a friendly terminal user interface (TUI) for Click-based command line apps using the Textual framework. It inspects the CLI's options and switches to build an interactive form for editing and running commands.
Use cases
- add a tui to my click cli app
- make my command line tool easier to discover options
- generate terminal ui from python cli
- help users who forget cli flags and switches
- build a swagger-like interface for a cli
- interactive form for running cli commands
When to choose
- your CLI is built with Click and you want a TUI with minimal code changes
- users struggle to remember your app's many options and flags
- you want a Textual-based interactive interface for running commands
When to avoid
- your CLI is not built with Click (other libraries not yet supported)
- you need a fully polished, stable TUI framework for production
- you want a GUI rather than a terminal interface
