This is a feature request folks, for the very nice commander!

It would be great to have option names like 'test_option' parsed as '--test-option' instead of '--test_option'. The reason is, perhaps, that there's a long tradition of options being parsed that way.

Since you may want to keep backwards compatibility, perhaps accepting both would be great and maybe display the built-in command help with the more common hyphen symbol instead of the underscore.

That is:

@command('run')
def run(test_option = 'foo'):
    pass

Would accept both --test-option and --test_option but the built-in help for the command would display --test-option.

Thanks!

currently, marking a parameter as list requires adding a default list value for it - but this is problematic when the function is also used from regular code (the list may change over time).

additionally, sometimes it's desirable to set a type for a parameter, but keep it mandatory

having something like:

@command('function_name', types={'p1':list})
def function_name(p1,p2):
    pass

can solve this

With a signature like:

fn(a, n=100)

then:

 python script.py fn a --n 100

properly converts n to an int. However, when called like:

python script.py fn a 100

leaves the n argument as a string

I'm getting the following error when I try to use commandr:

ImportError: No module named functools_util

It would appear that functools_util.py isn't being packaged with the module. As a test, I simply pasted it into my site-packages/commandr directory and the error goes away.

I'm a bit of a python newb, but I assume that commandr/functools_util.py needs to be added to commandr/MANIFEST
