Gooey: Turn almost any Python command line program into a GUI application

Brilliant workflow!

Today I learned about Fire AND Gooey

Sometimes I get bogged down in writing proper argparse when it really is not needed.

Are there any edge cases where Fire does not work too well, like some strange parameters (for example tuple as dictionary key)?

If you like the look of fire for the ease of creating a cli but wish it automatically did validation based on type annotations, you might like Typer[0]. The pathlib parameters are especially handy, I find.

You had me at pathlib! I wish people used it more...

For anyone who doesn’t know what pathlib is: https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html

I also recommend checking out Clicky. It is similar to Fire, but has been out there for very long time and has some more power features and documentation.

Same! TIL Fire & Gooey is a power move.
