I love gooey: https://github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey

It allows me to quickly slap a GUI on an existing script that accepts command-line-arguments. In the end, I get the best of both world: Discoverability from the GUI, automation through the script, and automatic feature parity between the two.

Downside: Control over the GUI layout is basic, and only "standard" GUI features work, but I never felt limited when using it.

+1 for Gooey. This "auto-GUI" app is a godsend for any script-user seeking to minimize friction. Lately, I've been diving into Ruby (fallen in love with Ruby on Rails) and I'm hoping to come across something similar.

Note that it's built on top of wxPython. I think a "middle ground" user interface between the commandline and a full-blown graphical environment is a great idea.
