When I used to program I wrote functions for tasks I did on a regular basis and created a library for them.   I have been playing around with python and found an interesting ITPro.TV video on creating one in python.

I created a runbatch text file to execute the commands for testing.   I store the commands in commands.py.   They are called into cli.py.

I created it so I could add, subtract, multiply, divide, quadratic formula     I created them with 3 integers

Finally finding my hostname, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

python3 cli.py add 1 2 3
python3 cli.py subtract 1 2 3
python3 cli.py multiply 1 2 3
python3 cli.py division 1 2 3
python3 cli.py quadratic 1 2 3
python3 cli.py quadratic 1 -2 1
python3 cli.py quadratic 1 7 12
python3 cli.py interface_nic
