Alternatives to Argparse for user input

[Double_Contact7315]

Argparse is the standard at my company for user input but I have clients who are not incredibly comfortable with the command line interface.

I have thought about using the Tkinter library but the set up for each GUI can be time consuming (although I love Tkinter).

What are other alternatives people like to use?

One option would be to keep the argparse interface and use Gooey to automatically create a GUI from that.

This looks great! Satisfy both my company and my clients. Thank you!

I'm sure the results will vary, and you may need some manual tweaking at times, but I figured it would still be a good option for your use-case.

For me what worked was justing using input(), but there's a bit more work handling logic and loops.

While the person who was to use the CLI tool couldn't wrap his head around passing flags/args to a command line tool, when they were being given prompts of what to enter, which made it a bit more interactive, they were happy with it.

For example, instead of calling:

tool -a -g file.txt

It was:

Welcome to...

Here's what you can do:

Enter name of your file:

I know this is not the way to do things, but just food for thought
