Python click call command first then options

Question

is there a way in Python Click library change the execution order?

I want to have cli my_command --options --options

now I have cli --options --options my_command

I don't want a command to be called at the end.

Answer 1

The structure of a click command is as follows:

command <options> subcommand <subcommand options>

I'm not sure how you would have two options with the same name for one command. However, the two '--options' options apply to the 'cli' command and not your 'my_command' command.

To achieve something like what you want:

import click

@click.group()
@click.option('--options/--not-options', default=False)
def cli(options):
    if options:
        click.echo("Recieved options")

@cli.command()
@click.option('--options/--not-options', default=False)
def my_command(options):
    if options:
        click.echo("Recieved options")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    cli(obj={})

To run this from the terminal (filename replaces the 'cli' command entrypoint):

python mytool.py --options my-command --options

>>Recieved options
>>Received options
