Highlighted change: python -m fire

You can use Python Fire without ever modifying your code. To use it, first install Python Fire with pip install fire. Then simply run python -m fire path/to/yourfile.py or python -m fire path.to.yourmodule.

This is both a fast way to use Python Fire to create a CLI from your code, and a way to apply Python Fire quickly to a codebase you don't have access to.
