Re: Intent to retire python-typer and python-typer-cli

[Ben Beasley]

Thanks for pointing this out.

I’ll unretire typer and typer-cli, then, and give it another chance. 
It’s been less than eight weeks (only a few days!) so unretirement will 
be quick and will not require re-review.

A little communication from the upstream maintainer would have really 
helped!
