-
New: Introduce pythonping.
pythonping is simple way to ping in Python. With it, you can send ICMP Probes to remote devices like you would do from the terminal.

.

New: Create a

command.You could use a callback to implement a
--version
CLI option.It would show the version of your CLI program and then it would terminate it. Even before any other CLI parameter is processed.
from typing import Optional import typer __version__ = "0.1.0" def version_callback(value: bool) -> None: """Print the version of the program.""" if value: print(f"Awesome CLI Version: {__version__}") raise typer.Exit() def main( version: Optional[bool] = typer.Option( None, "--version", callback=version_callback, is_eager=True ), ) -> None: ... if __name__ == "__main__": typer.run(main)

It's been the most recommended platform from the people I know from the open-source, activist environment.
Ko-fi would be my next choice, as they don't do commissions on the donations and they support more features (that I don't need
