Creates an argument parser from one or more functions/classes, parses arguments and runs one of the functions or class methods depending on what was parsed. If the components argument is not given, then the components will be all the locals in the context and defined in the same module as from where CLI is called. Args: components: One or more functions/classes to include in the command line interface. args: List of arguments to parse or None to use sys.argv. config_help: Help string for config file option in help. set_defaults: Dictionary of values to override components defaults. as_positional: Whether to add required parameters as positional arguments. return_parser: Whether to return the parser instead of parsing and running. **kwargs: Used to instantiate :class:`.ArgumentParser`. Returns: The value returned by the executed function or class method.
