Click looks better, honestly, and I want to try it out on my next project, but I love docopt: https://github.com/docopt/docopt It creates the CLI off of the documentation you write following some conventions at the top of the script. So you basically get a free interface with flags, --help text, etc. for doing what you already should be doing, documenting your code. Pretty excellent concept. I'm not sure how well/easily docopt would work with an omnibus script that is calling out to subcommands in other files, though.
