Tools I use: argparse builder

Re:Tools I use: argparse builder by cameldrv on Thursday October 08, 2020 @01:09PM (#24721269)

I have been thinking of building something like this for some time. It would be great to have something that automatically generated a:

* CUI

* TUI

* Web UI

* REST API

* Config files

* Environment Variables

* GUI

There are pieces of this in various places. There are a number of command line libraries that integrate config files, command line options, and environment variables, including Traitlets (used in Jupyter). The original Enthought Traits did this for GUIs (declare a set of of classes with datatypes, call .configure_traits() on them, and voila, an autogenerated GUI for them. The Django admin interface is very similar for the web. What's needed is to bring this into a single package.

I also very much like this idea, as I find writing CUI/GUI code kind of boilerplate, annoying, and often feels like this is sth which could be automated.

In fact, I also implemented a similar idea to automatic GUI generation for my music player: https://github.com/albertz/music-player

I tried to summarize the idea here: https://github.com/albertz/wiki/blob/master/automatic-user-i...

Maybe you have some further good references?
