audio_helper.cli_click module

Audio Helper — click-based command-line interface.

Twin of audio_helper.cli_argparse: same public surface (identical subcommand names, identical flag semantics), but implemented with click so users who already have a click-native shell setup (bash / zsh completion via click.shell_completion, colored –help, nested command groups) can plug it in without friction. Installed as the audio-helper-click entry point in pyproject.toml.

Design notes

  • Subcommands mirror audio-helper (the argparse twin) so both CLIs can be introspected identically by higher layers (FastAPI, MCP).

  • Flags reuse the argparse names (--input / --output / …) rather than the more idiomatic click positional style — consistency across the two CLIs beats micro-idiomaticity here.

  • Errors from the library propagate unchanged; click handles the formatting.

Usage Example

>>> #   audio-helper-click convert    --input in.mp3 --output out.wav --freq 44100
>>> #   audio-helper-click duration   --input in.mp3
>>> #   audio-helper-click split      --input in.mp3 --output-dir chunks/ --seconds 30
>>> #   audio-helper-click resemblance --a a.mp3 --b b.mp3
