What does HackerNews think of Gooey?

Turn (almost) any Python command line program into a full GUI application with one line

Language: Python

I love gooey: https://github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey

It allows me to quickly slap a GUI on an existing script that accepts command-line-arguments. In the end, I get the best of both world: Discoverability from the GUI, automation through the script, and automatic feature parity between the two.

Downside: Control over the GUI layout is basic, and only "standard" GUI features work, but I never felt limited when using it.

similar for local/individual usage:

https://github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey - take a python-CLI, make a tk-frontend

and then probably even simple dashboarding like streamlit.

> There should be a library that makes it easy for developers to include a basic GUI with a CLI

There are. For example, in Python, Gooey provides that. [0]
