What are some best practices to keep in mind when developing a script program that could be integrated with a GUI, probably by somebody else, in the future?
Example scenario:
- i develop a fancy python CLI program that scrapes every unicorn images from the web
- i decide to publish it on github
- a unicorn fan programmer decide to take the sources and build a GUI on them.
- he gives up because my code is a mess
How do i avoid step 4 and let unicorn fan programmer build his GUI without hassle?
