✓ fire.Fire

✗ from fire import Fire

Fire is a function in the fire module, not a top-level import.

Basic CLI generation from a function.

import fire def hello(name="World"): return "Hello %s!" % name if __name__ == '__main__': fire.Fire(hello)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaFire uses argument parsing that may conflict with argparse or click if used in the same script. Avoid mixing libraries that parse sys.argv.

fix

Use Fire alone for CLI entry points, or call fire.Fire() only when __name__ == '__main__'.

affects: all

gotchaFire's type inference is limited; it may not properly handle complex types like custom classes or nested objects. It works best with simple types.

fix

Provide explicit help strings or use docstrings to guide parsing.

affects: all

deprecatedPython Fire 0.1.0 is very old (2018). It has known bugs and no active maintenance. Consider alternatives like Typer or Click.

fix

Migrate to Typer (pip install typer) for modern CLI generation.

affects: 0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

'Fire' object is not callable

Importing Fire incorrectly as a class or attribute from fire module.

fix

Use 'import fire' then call 'fire.Fire(function)'.

TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Fire may interpret a class's __init__ as the default command but return a string when instantiated, causing confusion.

fix

Use classes with Fire by calling fire.Fire(ClassName) and ensure methods return strings or use --help.
