Yes I saw mainly pygments which is an OpenSource project...
But, I must admit. I will spend 6 months before understanding this.
Rhahaaa... This level is high! I saw too cmd2 which is fully compatible 
and inherit from cmd.
But not quite as fun!

The main module cli.py is 1700 lignes and the architecture is not very 
well documented.
We will see If I can make any progress during the next month.

Thanks Alan
