I like it! Simplest use case it saves on boilerplate required by argparse. [1] But the potential for embedded apps is the real draw for me. I have a CLI app I'd like to provide a notebook GUI for... This would be perfect. Just swap out argparse for clip.py, write the embed script and the GUI can use the same methods. No need to code additional logic to handle GUI widgets.

I wonder how hard it would be to make my 'shkeleton' CLI parser embeddable -- it's basically argparse for bash scripting right now. [2]
