command.multiplexer

Defines command class used to nest multiple commands under one.

class lmi.scripts.common.command.multiplexer.LmiCommandMultiplexer(app, cmd_name, parent=None)

Example usage:

class MyCommand(LmiCommandMultiplexer):
    '''
    My command description.

    Usage: %(cmd)s mycommand (subcmd1 | subcmd2)
    '''
    COMMANDS = {'subcmd1' : Subcmd1, 'subcmd2' : Subcmd2}

Where Subcmd1 and Subcmd2 are some other LmiBaseCommand subclasses. Documentation string must be parseable with docopt.
