Have nice a Graphical User Interface for your scripts. To do so, you just need to fill a configuration file describing your scripts (options, location, etc) and voilà, you have a GUI to use your script.
You need to have python 3 installed (no other dependy normally).
You just need to execute the main.py script, by default it try to search the configuration file at ./test_data/SimpleConf.json but you can choose an other name and location with the option -c or --config. Examples:
./main.py --config ~/my_config_filepython3 ./src/main.py -c ../my_conf_file.json
