Eel is a small Python library that connects a Python backend with an HTML/JavaScript frontend, making it easy to build Electron-like desktop GUI apps. Adding the @eel.expose decorator to a Python function makes it callable from JavaScript, and conversely JavaScript functions can be called from Python, so two-way communication is easy. Its advantage over Electron is that it uses the built-in Bottle web server and a Chrome app-mode window, so no separate Node.js environment is needed.
