{"id":4642,"library":"naked","title":"Naked: A Command Line Application Framework","description":"Naked is a MIT licensed Python command line application framework that is currently in development, described as an 'early stable testing version'. It provides an executable for project generation, testing, profiling, and distribution to PyPI, alongside a Python library featuring an easy-to-use command-line string object parser and numerous Python type/method/function extensions. The current version is 0.1.32, released on November 6, 2022. The project maintains an active status with ongoing development, though users are advised to anticipate potential breaking changes.","status":"active","version":"0.1.32","language":"python","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/chrissimpkins/naked","tags":["command line","framework","CLI","application development","toolshed","utility"],"install":[{"cmd":"pip install Naked","lang":"bash","label":"Install with pip"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"The top-level package is `Naked` (capitalized) and contains submodules like `commandline` and `toolshed`.
