Essential Deep Learning Checklist: Best Practices Unveiled
How to Accomplish: Design your scripts to accept command-line arguments or read from configuration files for all variable parameters, such as learning rates, batch sizes, and paths to datasets. Libraries like Click, Fire, and Typer make it easy to implement CLI-based configurations, while configuration file parsers (e.g., JSON, YAML) allow for more complex setups.

CLI tools hidden in the Python standard library
The cli tool [fire](https://github.com/google/python-fire/blob/master/docs/guide...) has a nifty feature where it can generate a cli for any file for you.
So random and math are somewhat usable that way

Build CLI blazingly fast with python-fire 🔥
With python-fire you can use either function or class to create your subcommands. But I find working with classes more intuitive and manageable. Our first command is going to be a sub-command that shows us the UTC time.

I am sick of writing argparse boilerplate code, so I made "duckargs" to do it for me
Have you checked out fire? Personally, I think it's a really elegant solution to turning a callable object into command line. Plus, the chaining function calls feature lets you build some pretty complex command line patterns likes you never seen with other frameworks. Definitely worth giving it a try!

Best way to get data into python scripts
I highly recommend checking out fire for adding a CLI quickly to little utility scripts that aren't going to be published to the world but just for you.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing python-tinyscript and Python Fire you can also consider the following projects:
python-sploitkit - Devkit for building Metasploit-like consoles
typer - Typer, build great CLIs. Easy to code. Based on Python type hints.
dronesploit - Drone pentesting framework console
click - Python composable command line interface toolkit
zotero-cli - Tinyscript tool for sorting and exporting Zotero references based on pyzotero
Gooey - Turn (almost) any Python command line program into a full GUI application with one line
