 Command Line Interface

========================

Framework for creating command line interfaces with basic readline

functionality.

Usage

=====

You can bind CLI to a terminal (console)::

    >>> from cli import Console, CLI

    >>> con = Console()

    >>> cli = CLI(con)

    >>> while True:

    ...     cli.read()

    ...

The ``Console`` class emulates a socket, you can also bind the CLI

to a (client) socket::

    >>> from cli import CLI

    >>> import socket

    >>> s = socket.socket()

    >>> s.bind(('0.0.0.0', 12345))

    >>> s.listen(1)

    >>> c, a = s.accept()

    >>> cli = CLI(c)

    >>> while True:

    ...     cli.read()

    ...
