pybill.commandline package

pybill.commandline package contains the the command line interface of PyBill.

ui module

pybill.commandline.ui module define the User Interface for PyBill command line.

This User Interface consists in a run() function that defines a parser for the command line arguments and relies on a PyBill controller for running the PyBill functions.

This module can be executed and just runs the run() function defined below.

In this module, we define a unique PyBill controller that will be used by the run function.

pybill.commandline.ui.controller

Unique controller that is used by the run() function to do the actual PyBill work.

type: PyBillController

This module also defines the run function that provides the User Interface for the command line.

pybill.commandline.ui.run()

Function containing the User Interface for the command line.

This function hardly relies on a PyBillController object for doing the actual work and only reads and passes the correct arguments.

In order to manage the command line arguments, this function defines and uses an optparse.OptionParser object.
