Python [fire](https://github.com/google/python-fire) is extremely useful for automatically generating command line interfaces (CLIs) from absolutely any Python object.
Examples:
The python class:
```python
import fire
class Calculator(object):
"""A simple calculator class."""
def double(self, number):
return 2 * number
if __name__ == '__main__':
fire.Fire(Calculator)
```
Then, when calling the file on the terminal, the CLI is already there:
```shell
python calculator.py double 10 # 20
python calculator.py double --number=15 # 30
```
