       | Argparse is good for simple stuff but there are many Click based
       | CLI's and a lot of popular CLI libraries build on top of Click.
       | There are also other Python CLI tools that aren't argparse or
       | Click, though I will say that these two are probably the most
       | popular ones.
       | 
       | Is this confirmed to work with Click? I only see references to
       | argparse. I would go so far to say, if the answer is no, that
       | "almost any" is a flat out lie, and a much more accurate title
       | would be "Turn almost any argparse-based Python command line
       | program into a full GUI application".
       | 
       | Also, the last substantial commit was over two years ago. This
       | isn't itself a bad thing, but given the open issue count does not
       | really signal confidence in the project.
       | 
       | Otherwise it is a cool project. I would like to see more of this
       | - it's one of those neat force multipliers, as referenced in the
       | README, that some enterprising person could implement as a CLI
       | and then share their automation for the rest of the nontechincal
       | office in an easy way. Kind of like how Access did the same thing
       | for DB's.

       | 
       | Very cool idea but it never worked out (to my knowledge).
