I'm interested in finding a Python CLI lib for building command suite apps. I've written a few with Click, and its architecture seems weird and clumsy to me. I looked at that website, and it doesn't list any command suite libs other than Click. There's a few other CLI-related libs, but for doing stuff like making prompts work nicely.

My usual go-to for that kind of stuff is Escort for Ruby. Everything is defined at a place and level that makes sense IMO.

Searched for "command suite" got nothing. Searched for "ruby escort," found services in las vegas. ;)

If you mean sub-commands like version control software has, argparse can do it. A bit clunky, but doable.
