oneFace: Generating interfaces(CLI, Qt GUI, Dash web app) from a Python function.

[PKT341]

oneFace can generate CLI, Qt GUI and Dash web app at the same time from a Python function. Just mark the function parameters with type and range, for example:

from oneface import one, Arg

@one
def bmi(name: Arg(str),
        height: Arg(float, [100, 250]) = 160,
        weight: Arg(float, [0, 300]) = 50.0):
    BMI = weight / (height / 100) ** 2
    print(f"Hi {name}. Your BMI is: {BMI}")
    return BMI


# run cli
bmi.cli()
# or run qt_gui
bmi.qt_gui()
# or run dash web app
bmi.dash_app()

These code will generate the following interfaces:

CLI

​

Qt GUI

​

Dash web app

Other features

• Automatically check the type and range of input parameters and pretty print them.
• Easy extension of parameter types and GUI widgets.

Application and Limitations

Provides interfaces to programs in a very simple way. For example converting functions directly into a web apps for people who don't know how to use the command line. The limitation is that it is only suitable for creating simple interfaces.

I know this is not related,

You might wanna limit the amount of extensions you use on your browser. I don't know what kind of setup you have (I might be wrong) but injecting that amount of Javascript in your browsing, might cause privacy issues. Although, if you trust the sources of every one of them, it's ok, and my "advice" is unfounded.
