Ask HN: What are some unusual but useful Python libraries you've discovered?

Snippet

defopt generates CLI from function interface: https://defopt.readthedocs.io/en/stable/features.html
The alternative is either you maintain two interfaces with boilerplate, or write a CLI only if that's the first priority.
Similar solutions exist, like fire. But fire's CLI is like an afterthought, in the sense it gives people a way to run things in command line where they already know how to run it from Python.
