Despite the fact that "everything is an object" in Python, you don't
have to put data or functions inside classes or objects.  I also know
nothing about Typer, but there's nothing wrong with functions in a
module.

There's also nothing wrong with writing a function that creates and
returns the database and LDAP connections (perhas as instances of
application-level classes), amd calling that function from within each
command.

DRY.  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  :-/ So there's one line at the top of each
comamnd that initializes things, and possibly a line at the bottom to
close those things down.  Turn those lines into a context manager, which
is actually a sub-framework inside Typer.  Don't convolute/compilicate
your design to eliminate one line at the top of each command.

Go ahead, accuse me of writing FORTRAN (all caps, no numbers or
qualifiers, as $deity intended) in Python.  But neither optimize
prematurely nor invoke the Inner Platform Effect to save one or two
lines in your not-yet-written commands, either.

Sorry for the rant.  :-)

Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.

HTH.
