Note

This list used to be manually updated at the early stages of Argh development. As the list of contributions grew, it became increasingly harder to track them.

Fortunately, Github offers this awesome tool: https://github.com/neithere/argh/graphs/contributors

Please refer to the Github report for recent contributions.

Also, please don’t hesitate to file issues and create pull requests and become a contributor! ❤️

Acknowledgements

Early versions were somewhat inspired by Alexander Solovyov’s opster.

Thanks to the authors of argparse for the excellent library for which Argh is merely a wrapper.

Thanks to Andrey Kislyuk for writing argcomplete and thus allowing Argh to remain compact.

Thanks to the authors of py.test, tox, virtualenv, mock and related projects (or ideas) for automating the routine and letting the developer focus on the task and enjoy TDD.

Thanks to Bitbucket team for the not-too-commercial approach to the excellent tools they provide. The early years of Argh development were spent on that platform.

Thanks to Github team for the place where Argh has been developed for over a decade.
