+ cmdln.py is an extension of Python's default cmd.py module that provides "a
+ simple framework for writing line-oriented command interpreters". The idea
+ (with both cmd.py and cmdln.py) is to be able to quickly build
+ multi-sub-command tools (think cvs or svn) and/or simple interactive shells
+ (think gdb or pdb). cmdln.py's extensions make it more natural to write
+ sub-commands, integrate optparse for simple option processing, and make
+ having good command documentation easier.
