Type annotations help immensely in cleaning up potential issues in code. We should add them throughout the library. This is dependent on issue #2 though.

Python 2 is about to hit EOL. It's not worth maintaining this for a dead language. The package is simple enough that if anyone does really need it, it should be trivial to correct for Python 2.

This has actually been mostly done, there are just a few remnants of Python 2 still kicking around.

Without virtualenv info, it's incredibly difficult to work on this tool.

While you do use the xcrun command to run simctl, all it actually does is run the correct version of simctl for the currently selected version of Xcode. There are multiple other tools that can be run with xcrun and this isn't intended to be a wrapper around all of them.

The simctl package name is already taken though, so we'll need to use something better.

The tool was designed to mimic the command line, but that's not the best idea. Tools designed for bash are not the best design for Python APIs. As an example, to list the runtimes in Bash we do:

xcrun simctl list runtimes

Currently, with this package, we run:

xcrun.simctl.listall.runtimes()

It would be much cleaner to have something like:

xcrun.simctl.runtimes.all()

Python has objects. We shouldn't be afraid to use them.
