Hi @nanjekyejoannah, as you reviewed the first PR for this issue, would you be able to take a look at this one when you get a chance? I ended up moving the CLI logic to a separate function and importing & using argparse only in there to keep the rest of the module lightweight.

Thank you!

I know that not all CLI entrypoints are tested, but I think we should start doing it. Especially because you have logic in your main, not just some other function call.

Hi @sobolevn, thanks for taking a look! I believe I've addressed all the comments, and have added in some unit tests. Would you be able to take a look again when you have time?

[sobolevn]

Thanks! Several more ideas / comments :)

I think this can also be added to whatsnew/3.12, because this feature is quite useful.

Hi @sobolevn! I've tried to address all the comments you provided, would you be able to take another look?

[sobolevn]

LGTM! But, this will require a core-dev acceptance as well.
