Basic example: define a click command using consolekit's @command, use Colour for colored output.

from consolekit import command, Colour @command() def greet(name: str): print(f"{Colour.green('Hello')}, {name}!") if __name__ == '__main__': greet()

consolekit --version

Known issues

breakingIn v1.0, many imports were reorganized. Symbols previously under submodules (e.g., consolekit.decorators.command) now must be imported from consolekit top-level. Direct submodule imports may break.

fix

Use from consolekit import command instead of from consolekit.decorators import command.

affects: >=1.0.0,<2.0.0

deprecatedThe consolekit.decorators module is deprecated; all decorators are now re-exported from the main package.

fix

Import decorators from consolekit directly.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe @command decorator from consolekit expects the function to return a click.Command. If you mix consolekit.option with native click.option, argument ordering may differ.

fix

Use consolekit.option consistently within a consolekit.command-decorated function.

affects: all

gotchaColour class uses ANSI escape sequences; ensure the output stream supports colors (e.g., not redirected to a file). Use colour.is_enabled() to check.

fix

Call Colour.is_enabled() before applying colors or use Colour.strip() to remove colors.

affects: all
