🚀👩‍🚀🐍 Starships in Python!

An object-oriented implementation of a database of starships. Intended for educational use.

⌨️ CLI frontend

A CLI application frontend starship_cli, written using the Click package, provides user-friendly access to the Python API. The user will be prompted for required information, like name. Click also helps in producing progressive help messages to the end-user, which are dynamically generated from docstrings, type hints, and variable values.

starship_cli ship create --name "USS Enterprise" --class "Constitution" 
  # => Starship('USS Enterprise','Constitution', None, None)
starship_cli ship create
  # => Enter name of new starship:
starship_cli --help
  # Usage: starship_cli [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  # Options:
  #   --help  Show this message and exit.

  # Commands:
  #   fleet
  #   ship

🐍 Python backend

starship objects are instantiated by providing name, registry, and crew number.

enterprise = starship(name='USS Enterprise', registry='NCC-1701', crew=400)

If not provided, the constructor demands them interactively.

enterprise = starship()

Starship objects can be added to fleet objects.

starfleet = fleet(name='Starfleet')
starfleet.add(enterprise)

Fleet objects expose a list of ships on the roster method

starfleet.roster()

Use tabulate to quickly display the output:

from tabulate import tabulate
print(tabulate(starfleet.roster()))
