DemoApp
class inherits from
and overrides
__init__()
to set the program description and version number. It also passes a
CommandManager
instance configured to look for plugins in the
cliff.demo
namespace.</p> <p>The
initialize_app()
method of
DemoApp
will be invoked after the main program arguments are parsed, but before any command processing is performed and before the application enters interactive mode. This hook is intended for opening connections to remote web services, databases, etc. using arguments passed to the main application.</p> <p>The
prepare_to_run_command()
method of
DemoApp
will be invoked after a command is identified, but before the command is given its arguments and run. This hook is intended for pre-command validation or setup that must be repeated and cannot be handled by
initialize_app()
.</p> <p>The
clean_up()
method of
DemoApp
is invoked after a command runs. If the command raised an exception, the exception object is passed to
clean_up()
. Otherwise the
err
argument is
None
.</p> <p>The
main()
function defined in
main.py
is registered as a console script entry point so that
DemoApp
can be run from the command line (see the discussion of
setup.py
below).</p> </div><div class=„section“ id=„simple-py“ readability=„11“> <h3>simple.py</h3> <p>Two commands are defined in
