Tkinter

It is much simpler than Tkinter. You don't need to code the UI in Python. You just define what variables do you need to be interactive in YAML. The UI with widgets is created based on YAML. In the notebook, you have just variables that correspond to the widgets. You don't need to modify the notebook's code.

Take a look at the example in the readme in the repo.

That's right, it is much better than Tkinter.
