AWORK a CLI client for AWX

Awork is mainly a simplified demonstration of the core functionality of tower-cli through the click library.

Awork stands for "Awork is not tower-cli". Don't ask me how that works.

awork foo bar 34 -b foobar
 root command:           awork (of course)
 resource category name: foo
 action name:            bar

 call args: ()
 call kwargs: {'pk': 34, 'baz': u'foobar'}

This is a basic example to show the command resolution of awork, and also of tower-cli.

• foo is a subcommand of the main entry point
• bar is a subcommand of foo, which is the "action" part of the command
• -b is an option
• pk is an argument

Headline features of rewrite

These are the user-facing more important features that this is trying to sell:

• No manual maintaining of fields list
• Tower version and API version switchable by server or user
• Accurate handling of uniqueness rules, no duplicate specification

Code structure points

Prohibited items:

• decorators
• metaclasses
• minimal in-line imports

You could say that part of this refactor had already begun with the divorcing of the models/resources from the cli folder, where the command classes became logically organized in terms of root command, resource command, and then action command.

This rewrite is intended to destroy the tower_cli/resources folder entirely, replacing it with tower_cli/schema.

For now, the schema is generated (make schema), but the idea is that eventually, a more comprehensive schema could be officially published, and that would be used instead.

Still to do goal: Nothing in the cli folders are to do anything programatically non-trivial that is unconnected to the CLI interface. Instead, all functional interactions with the server will go in the tower_cli/models, so that CLI users are not privileged over the python users.

Legal

This is not sponsored by any company or anything like that.

I just made the repository on my own, it is not in intended for use at all.
