This Python console project aims to provide me with a comprehensive learning experience and skills as a developer. The project covers essential topics, including;
- Creating a Python package
- Implementing a command interpreter using the cmd module
- Unit testing in large projects
- Serialization and deserialization
- JSON file handling
- Datetime management, UUIDs, and advanced function argument handling with *args and **kwargs.
What is a command interpreter
- It is a system software that understands and executes commands that are entered interactively by a human or from an another program.
How to start a command interpreter
- Clone the repository to your local machine
- Navigate to the project directory
- Run the command interpreter e.g python console.py
How to use a commandline interpreter
- Once the command interpreter is running, you can enter commands and interact with the console.
- The interpreter supports various functionalities, including Python package creation, unit testing, serialization, and more. Examples include;
-
Creating a python package: create_package mypackage
-
Run unit tests: run_tests
-
Serialize and Desirialize a class: serialize MyClass deserialize MyClass
-
Read and write a JSON file: write_json data.json {"key": "value"} read_json data.json
-
Generate and Display a UUID: generate_uuid
-
Function with named arguments named_args_function --arg1 value1 --arg2 value2
