That sounds like Gooey: https://github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey , which creates GUIs for Python cli apps. Autogenerated based on the args, but configurable and the widgets and menus can be defined in JSON.

Very cool! Reading https://github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey#how-does-it-work One simply attaches a decorator to whichever function/method your argparse uses. I have dozens of argparse based programs that could use Gooey.
