The article discusses the challenges faced by developers whose scripts, though functional, often remain underutilized due to a lack of structure and reusability. The author shares their experience building a user-friendly Text Summarizer CLI tool using Hugging Face's Transformers, emphasizing the importance of clean architecture, type hints, and modular functions. By employing argparse for command-line interface functionality, the goal is to encourage best practices that enable developers to create tools that are easily reused, enhancing both productivity and collaboration in Python projects.
When scripts lack structure, clarity, and the ability to be reused, they tend to become one-off projects rather than valuable tools.
Building a command-line interface using argparse is not just about making tools functional; it’s about providing a user-friendly experience that encourages repeated use.
Using clean architecture and type hints in your projects not only enhances readability but also fosters better collaboration among developers, making scripts easier to maintain and reuse.
By adopting modular functions, we can create scripts that are not only specific in functionality but also capable of being easily modified and extended for future needs.
