What is Klix and how does it differ from Click?

Klix is a full Python CLI framework with commands, state, prompts, and UI. Click excels at parsing; Klix builds complete interactive apps.

How do I get started with Klix?

pip install klix, then klix init my-app, cd my-app, python main.py. Extend from there.

Not one-size-fits-all, but for structured apps, it'll cut deps and boilerplate massively.

📦 Open Source

Picture this: your Python CLI starts as a neat script, ends up a bloated monster. Enter Klix — the framework that glues it all smoothly.
