If you run any of my converters, that's the GUI you see. The frontend is written in C#, and if you add it as a git submodule it's pretty easy to have a build script that builds it, then build your tool, copies them all to a directory tree together, and also copies in the xml config files you need. That's sadly completely unhelpful for python development, as neither googletest nor appveyor support python. The automated tests is me having gotten some practice at setting up google test on C++ and getting it to run with the automated build system at AppVeyor.
If you'd like to host your converter there, send me your github username and I'll add you to the organization so you can set up a repo under it. We're not allowed to share direct github links here, but if you search for ParadoxGameConverters you'll go right to it. The github coordination is a github organization with the converters I've done, a shared code repository, the frontend repository, and the province mapper repository.
