Click is a python library for creating command line applications in Python. The llm tool created by Simon uses click and it has a lot of subcommands. eg: $ llm keys set openai Enter key: ... $ llm models default gpt-4o I am building a wrapper around this CLI tool that let’s me use it in an interactive REPL. I wanted autocompletion to help me remind the available subcommands and their appropriate nested subcommands....
A simple snippet to restart a Python CLI from within the CLI. import os import sys import click @click.command() def cli(): click.echo("CLI is running.") # Logic that determines when to restart if click.confirm("Do you want to restart the CLI?"): click.echo("Restarting CLI...") executable = sys.executable args = sys.argv os.execv(executable, [executable] + args) else: click.echo("Exiting CLI.") if __name__ == '__main__': cli() os.execv is the system call that can replace the current process with a new one....

The host of the podcast Michael Kennedy was well prepared with the background context and led the conversation in interesting ways. We got to cover a ton of different use cases at Netflix that use Python. I got to talk about some of my favorite OSS projects (bpython, pdb++, dbcli etc). We ran out of time before we could talk about pickley but we did mention it during the episode....
Recently I learned about a new kind of search called Vector Search or Semantic Search. This is a search technique that tries to find documents that match the meaning of the user’s search term instead of trying to match keywords like a Full Text Search (FTS). I wanted to try Semantic Search for my blog. I came across Alex Garcia’s post about a new SQLite extension for Vector Search called sqlite-vss....
Now that my blog is statically generated I need a way to support searching. Fuse.js ships with the theme and does a pretty good job of matching words in the blog posts. I want something a little bit more powerful. I mentioned in my previous post that I am using SQLite to store the blog posts. SQLite has a full text search feature that I can use to implement search....
