Source code for bokeh.command.bootstrap

''' Provide a ``main`` function to run bokeh commands.

The following are equivalent:

* Running the ``bokeh`` command line script:

  .. code-block:: sh

      bokeh serve --show app.py

* Using ``python -m bokeh``:

  .. code-block:: sh

      python -m bokeh serve --show app.py

* Executing ``main`` programmatically:

  .. code-block:: python

      from bokeh.command.bootstrap import main

      main(["bokeh", "serve", "--show", "app.py"])
