A Python tool that removes the background from images

I tried it on some images that seemed difficult to process, for example where the same color is on the edge of the bottle and the background, and it seems to do a great job!

I installed rembg and tried it on the command-line without any arguments, expecting to see some usage information. Nothing. Is this behavior typical of python tools?

Odd, it gives me usage info:

  Usage: rembg [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Options:
    --version  Show the version and exit.
    --help     Show this message and exit.

  Commands:
    i  for a file as input
    p  for a folder as input
    s  for a http server

This works fantastically! Thank you for the hard work.
