Lightweight helper toolkit for building small CLI (command-line) applications in Python.

The library simplifies common CLI tasks such as:
- handling user input,
- validation and conversion,
- safe execution and retry loops,
- formatted console output.

It is ideal for educational scripts, training exercises, small utilities, and simple CLI apps where readability and robustness matter more than complex frameworks.

## ✨ Features

- **safe_run** — context manager for safe execution with optional debug output  
- **try_until_ok** — repeat an operation until success, catching specified exceptions  
- **valid_input** — flexible input validation (regex + custom validator + conversion)  
- **choose_from_list** — select an item from a list by number or text  
- **parse_list** — split text into a list and optionally convert elements  
- **🖨print_iterable / print_zipped_iterable** — neat console formatting of lists or zipped items  
- **safe_int / safe_float** — convert strings to numbers safely without raising exceptions  
- **Predefined regex patterns** — integers, floats, dates, usernames, emails, multi-item lists, etc.  
- **Validator factories** — range checks, list membership, numerical comparisons (>, >=, <, <=)

Zero external dependencies — just Python 3.10+.

## 🛠️ Usage Example
```Python
from cli_tools import (safe_run, try_until_ok, valid_input,
                       choose_from_list, print_iterable,
                       print_zipped_iterable, print_header)
from cli_tools.validators import is_in_range

with safe_run(debug=True, exit_on_error=False):
    print_header(' Some example ')
    name = valid_input("Enter your name: ", converter= lambda x: x.strip().capitalize())
    print(f"Hello, {name}!")
    age = try_until_ok(
        valid_input,
        prompt="Enter your age: ",
        validator=is_in_range(1, 100),
        converter=int,
        on_exception="Be serious :)"
    )

    options = ["A", "B", "C"]
    print_iterable(options, item_pattern='{}', join_by=' | ', start='[ ', end=' ]')
    option = choose_from_list(options, by_number=False, prompt='Choose: ')

    data = {
        'name': name,
        'age': age,
        'option': option,
    }

    print_zipped_iterable(data.items(), '| {: <10}|{: >10} |',
                          join_by='\n'+'—'*25+'\n', start='_'*25+'\n', end='\n'+'‾'*25)
```

Output:
```commandline
