How to use cmd module to create python cli program?
Please refer to the following sample:

$ cat ./cli.py
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
from menu.CLI_main import CLI_main
###################################### main
if __name__ == '__main__':
    cli=main("user","host")
    cli.cmdloop()
$
$ cat ./main.py 
import cmd
class main(cmd.Cmd):
    def __init__(self, user, host):
        cmd.Cmd.__init__(self)
        self.user = user
        self.host = host
        self.prompt = "%s@%s:%s> " % (user, host, "main")

    def do_system(self, args):
        from system import system
        sub_cmd = system(self.user, host)
        sub_cmd.cmdloop()
    def help_system(self):
        print "system sub menu of cli"

    def do_show(self, args):
        print "show"

    def do_quit(self, args):
        return True
$
$ cat ./system.py
import cmd
class system(cmd.Cmd):
    def __init__(self, user, host):
        cmd.Cmd.__init__(self)
        self.user = user
        self.host = host
        self.prompt = "%s@%s:%s> " % (user, host, "system")

    def do_show(self, args):
        print "show"

    def do_quit(self, args):
        return True
$
$ ./cli.py

user@host:main> help

Undocumented commands:
