Framework for creating command line interfaces with basic readline functionality.

You can bind CLI to a terminal (console):

>>> from cli import Console, CLI
>>> con = Console()
>>> cli = CLI(con)
>>> while True:
...     cli.read()
...

The Console class emulates a socket, you can also bind the CLI to a (client) socket:

>>> from cli import CLI
>>> import socket
>>> s = socket.socket()
>>> s.bind(('0.0.0.0', 12345))
>>> s.listen(1)
>>> c, a = s.accept()
>>> cli = CLI(c)
>>> while True:
...     cli.read()
...
