How to create both short and long options for one option in click (python package)?

Question

How do I specify both a short option and long option for the same option? e.g., for the following, I also want to use -c for --count:

import click

@click.command()
@click.option('--count', default=1, help='count of something')
def my_command(count):
    click.echo('count=[%s]' % count)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    my_command()

e.g.,

$ python my_command.py --count=2
count=[2]
$ python my_command.py -c 3
count=[3]

Answer 1

This is not well documented, but is quite straight forward:

@click.option('--count', '-c', default=1, help='count of something')

Test Code:

@click.command()
@click.option('--count', '-c', default=1, help='count of something')
def my_command(count):
    click.echo('count=[%s]' % count)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    my_command(['-c', '3'])

Result:

count=[3]
