There's a Python library for this called "remi"[1]: REMote Interface library. It's amazing how well it works. We've been playing around with it on repl.it because we have a lot of users asking for GUI.
I recently built a TicTacToe game[2] in it in the fraction of the time it would take me just to setup a webapp. It's pretty impressive and goes to show how badly setup the web is for apps.

Someone else wrote a library that does all of the setup work, and then you didn't have to do that work, so you concluded that something else wasn't well set up?
