What problems do you have with CLI apps? In my experience, the problem is whether you're targeting developers (i.e., people that can run pip install <tool>) or end-users (those that just want to run a binary).

Python is hell for the latter. I support Windows and Linux, so I can bend pyinstaller to my will with enough effort, but I need to have a special Windows VM to "cross-compile".

For the former, though, it's a matter of creating a setup.py and telling the user to pip install the repo on GitHub. Or you can use Poetry, which makes things slightly easier.
