Set up a small Python project with a CLI entry point and a pyproject.toml.

I'll scaffold a minimal Python project with a CLI entry and a pyproject.toml.

Tools used:

• Bash: mkdir -p /Users/USER/Desktop/demo-alpha/src/democli
• Write: /Users/USER/Desktop/demo-alpha/pyproject.toml (412 chars)

[project]
name = "democli"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "A tiny demo CLI"
requires-python = ">=3.9"

[project.scripts]
democli = "democli.cli:main"

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=64"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

Tools used:

• Write: /Users/USER/Desktop/demo-alpha/src/democli/__init__.py (38 chars)

"""democli — a tiny demo CLI."""
__version__ = "0.1.0"

Tools used:

• Write: /Users/USER/Desktop/demo-alpha/src/democli/cli.py (256 chars)

import argparse

def main() -> int:
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(prog="democli")
    parser.add_argument("--name", default="world")
    args = parser.parse_args()
    print(f"hello, {args.name}")
    return 0

Project scaffolded. You can install it in editable mode with pip install -e . and run democli --name alice.

Add a test file that runs the CLI and checks output.

Tools used:

• Write: /Users/USER/Desktop/demo-alpha/tests/test_cli.py (228 chars)

import subprocess, sys

def test_hello_default():
    r = subprocess.run([sys.executable, "-m", "democli.cli"], capture_output=True, text=True)
    assert r.returncode == 0
    assert "hello, world" in r.stdout

Test added. Run with pytest tests/ -q after editable install.

Thanks, that's enough for today.

All set. Session summary: a minimal Python CLI package with pyproject.toml, a single main() entry point, and one smoke test. Next session can add argparse subcommands or publish to PyPI.
