  • Remove click and sphinx-click
  • Add sphinx-argparse
  • Use argparse
  • Remove completion, for now

Why are you replacing click with argparse?

  • click:
    • Pros:
      • Decorators
      • Completions
      • Testing is ok
    • Cons:
      • Extra dependency

        • This can cause headaches downstream on linux packages
      • Completion cumbersome in various ways (context sharing, testing, lack of documentation)

      • Passing contexts is cumbersome and sometimes buggy

      • Click's documentation

        Basic patterns and context passing aren't covered

      • Our docs: sphinx-click is hard to work with / control

        It automatically creates a section that's the exact name of the header that the user would want to write by hand

  • argparse
    • Pros:
      • Well maintained

      • New python versions are getting new features (3.9 and 3.10, when our minimum version is bumped, automatically gets these)

      • Works out of the box

      • Our docs: sphinx-argparse allows very fine-grained control

      • Has third party completion tools

        argcomplete, shtab

      • Easy for downstream package maintainers

      • Easy to test

    • Cons:
      • Very manual (this could also be considered a plus)
      • Parser creation and running happens in a separate function for each command
      • Completion is a separate package - so we end up needing a new package anyway - but it can be optional
