Description: =======================
        Python Prompt SmartMenu
        =======================
        
        `prompt_smart_menu` is a library for building command line menus for terminal applications 
        in Python. It allows you to create a multi-tiered argument parsing menu for executing
        different subcommands of a command line application.
        
        Read the `documentation on readthedocs
        <http://python-prompt-smart-menu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.
        
        
        Description
        ===========
        
        This library is designed around parsing a command string, not command line arguments. That is,
        it is intended to be used inside a python application using an ``input()`` type interface.
        
        For command line arguments passed to the python script, a library such as argparse would be 
        better suited. Though this library could be used for such purpose.
        
        Though not required, this library was designed to augment the 
        `auto-completion <https://python-prompt-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/stable/pages/asking_for_input.html#nested-completion>`__ 
        feature of `Python Prompt Toolkit`_. The `prompt_toolkit` library is very powerful, check it out!
        
        
        Features
        ========
        
        - **Declarative interface** (That's why I built this :] )
        - Integration with `prompt_toolkit auto-completion <https://python-prompt-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/stable/pages/asking_for_input.html#nested-completion>`__
        - Support for python keyword arguments.
        - Different parsers for type casting arguments (e.g. numbers).
        - Ability to build custom argument parser.
        - Argument validation for endpoint functions.
        - Flexibility to mix options (e.g. parsers) for different subcommands.
        - No dependencies, though `prompt_toolkit` highly recommended.
