cmd2
====

.. default-domain:: py

.. _cmd: https://docs.python.org/3/library/cmd.html

A python package for building powerful command-line interpreter (CLI)
programs.  Extends the Python Standard Library's cmd_ package.

The basic use of ``cmd2`` is identical to that of cmd_.

1. Create a subclass of ``cmd2.Cmd``.  Define attributes and
   ``do_*`` methods to control its behavior.  Throughout this documentation,
   we will assume that you are naming your subclass ``App``::

     from cmd2 import Cmd
     class App(Cmd):
         # customized attributes and methods here

2. Instantiate ``App`` and start the command loop::

     app = App()
     app.cmdloop()
