Tools for developing and testing command line interfaces in Python.
qcli (canonically pronounced queue sea el eye) is being designed to make QIIME's Command Line Interface framework a standalone package so it can be used in tools other than QIIME without the very heavy-weight dependency of QIIME itself. The name of this package may change as it reaches maturity.
Development will primarily occur in the Caporaso and Knight labs (at Northern Arizona University and University of Colorado, respectively), but the goal is for this to be a very open development effort. We accept code submissions as pull requests.
For now, you should direct questions to gregcaporaso@gmail.com.
