.. py:class:: Section(title, commands = (), is_sorted = False)

   A group of (sub)commands to show in the same help section of a
   ``MultiCommand``. You can use sections with any `Command` that inherits
   from :class:`SectionMixin`.

   .. versionchanged:: 0.6.0
       removed the deprecated old name ``GroupSection``.

   .. versionchanged:: 0.5.0
       introduced the new name ``Section`` and deprecated the old ``GroupSection``.

   :param title:
   :param commands: sequence of commands or dict of commands keyed by name
   :param is_sorted:
       if True, ``list_commands()`` returns the commands in lexicographic order

   .. py:method:: sorted(title, commands = ())
      :classmethod:


   .. py:method:: add_command(cmd, name = None)


   .. py:method:: list_commands()


   .. py:method:: __len__()


   .. py:method:: __repr__()

      Return repr(self).



.. py:class:: SectionMixin(*args, commands = None, sections = (), align_sections = None, **kwargs)

   Adds to a :class:`click.MultiCommand` the possibility of organizing its subcommands
   into multiple help sections.

   Sections can be specified in the following ways:

   #. passing a list of :class:`Section` objects to the constructor setting
      the argument ``sections``
   #. using :meth:`add_section` to add a single section
   #. using :meth:`add_command` with the argument `section` set

   Commands not assigned to any user-defined section are added to the
   "default section", whose title is "Commands" or "Other commands" depending
   on whether it is the only section or not. The default section is the last
   shown section in the help and its commands are listed in lexicographic order.

   .. versionchanged:: 0.8.0
       this mixin now relies on ``cloup.HelpFormatter`` to align help sections.
       If a ``click.HelpFormatter`` is used with a ``TypeError`` is raised.

   .. versionchanged:: 0.8.0
       removed ``format_section``. Added ``make_commands_help_section``.

   .. versionadded:: 0.5.0

   :param align_sections:
       whether to align the columns of all subcommands' help sections.
       This is also available as a context setting having a lower priority
       than this attribute. Given that this setting should be consistent
       across all you commands, you should probably use the context
       setting only.
   :param args:
       positional arguments forwarded to the next class in the MRO
   :param kwargs:
       keyword arguments forwarded to the next class in the MRO

   .. py:method:: add_section(section)

      Add a :class:`Section` to this group. You can add the same
      section object only a single time.

      See Also:
          :meth:`section`


   .. py:method:: section(title, *commands, **attrs)

      Create a new :class:`Section`, adds it to this group and returns it.


   .. py:method:: add_command(cmd, name = None, section = None, fallback_to_default_section = True)

      Add a subcommand to this ``Group``.

      **Implementation note:** ``fallback_to_default_section`` looks not very
      clean but, even if it's not immediate to see (it wasn't for me), I chose
      it over apparently cleaner options.

      :param cmd:
      :param name:
      :param section:
          a ``Section`` instance. The command must not be in the section already.
      :param fallback_to_default_section:
          if ``section`` is None and this option is enabled, the command is added
          to the "default section". If disabled, the command is not added to
          any section unless ``section`` is provided. This is useful for
          internal code and subclasses. Don't disable it unless you know what
          you are doing.


   .. py:method:: list_sections(ctx, include_default_section = True)

      Return the list of all sections in the "correct order".

      If ``include_default_section=True`` and the default section is non-empty,
      it will be included at the end of the list.


   .. py:method:: format_subcommand_name(ctx, name, cmd)

      Used to format the name of the subcommands. This method is useful
      when you combine this extension with other click extensions that override
      :meth:`format_commands`. Most of these, like click-default-group, just
      add something to the name of the subcommands, which is exactly what this
      method allows you to do without overriding bigger methods.


   .. py:method:: make_commands_help_section(ctx, section)


   .. py:method:: must_align_sections(ctx, default = True)


   .. py:method:: format_commands(ctx, formatter)
