What is your go-to UI framework?
For small apps, I may choose a TUI (Terminal User Interface). Curses for Python is very lightweight, but quite low level and difficult to use for anything more than a very simple interface (if your app tries to draw outside of the drawing area, the app crashes, so you have to carefully manage every detail). Textual and asciimatics are both mature TUI frameworks that provide a higher level and more Pythonic way to create TUI's.

How to format output for a stand-alone display screen? Larger numbers, colors, redrawing the screen from the top left instead of printing a new line every time?
If you are looking for something more flexible that just printing to a terminal, take a look at Asciimatics and textual. Both are available from Pypi.

I'm making a notes app and am up to making an 'edit' feature, but have no way of making changes to a file's contents, let alone saving the changes and writing them to the file
Scroll down to the TUI example in the README, just above the documentation link: https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics

ShyySH: a TUI connection manager for SSH
I have made yet another ssh connection manager with TUI, using asciimatics and tinyDB.

Best library for TUI (Text User Interface) and CLI (Command line Interface)
Personally I dig the aesthetics of asciimatics, it's quite handy and cross-platform.

CLI tools hidden in the Python standard library
The cli tool [fire](https://github.com/google/python-fire/blob/master/docs/guide...) has a nifty feature where it can generate a cli for any file for you.
So random and math are somewhat usable that way
$ python -m fire random uniform 0 1

Build CLI blazingly fast with python-fire ๐ฅ
With python-fire you can use either function or class to create your subcommands. But I find working with classes more intuitive and manageable. Our first command is going to be a sub-command that shows us the UTC time.

I am sick of writing argparse boilerplate code, so I made "duckargs" to do it for me
Have you checked out fire? Personally, I think it's a really elegant solution to turning a callable object into command line. Plus, the chaining function calls feature lets you build some pretty complex command line patterns likes you never seen with other frameworks. Definitely worth giving it a try!

What is your favorite ,most underrated 3rd party python module that made your programming 10 times more easier and less code ? so we can also try that out :-) .as a beginner , mine is pyinputplus
I started with click but found python fire to be so much easier to use.

Best way to get data into python scripts
I highly recommend checking out fire for adding a CLI quickly to little utility scripts that aren't going to be published to the world but just for you.
-
What are your coolest tools for one-liners ?
python fire autogenerates CLI wrappers for python modules, which really synergizes with method-chaining APIs like pandas.

What packages replaced standard library modules in your workflow?
also, while we're on the subject, fire may not be the same kind of workhorse as argparse or click, but for really simple stuff it's pretty awesome

Eclipse: python-fire inspired library to simplify creating CLIs in Go, on top of Cobra
I'm relatively new to Go (coming from Python) so I haven't been using Cobra (or Go, for that matter) for long but it's clearly very polished -- only friction I was experiencing with it is there's a lot of boilerplate to creating commands and subcommands, that IMO (idea as proven by python-fire) can be naturally (better) expressed as types / fields / methods that are already built into the language.
What are some alternatives?
python-prompt-toolkit - Library for building powerful interactive command line applications in Python
click - Python composable command line interface toolkit
colorama - Simple cross-platform colored terminal text in Python
typer - Typer, build great CLIs. Easy to code. Based on Python type hints.
textual - The lean application framework for Python. Build sophisticated user interfaces with a simple Python API. Run your apps in the terminal and a web browser.
Gooey - Turn (almost) any Python command line program into a full GUI application with one line
PyInquirer - A Python module for common interactive command line user interfaces
npyscreen - Automatically exported from code.google.com/p/npyscreen
docopt - This project is no longer maintained. Please see https://github.com/jazzband/docopt-ng
asynccli - A CLI framework based on asyncio
pydantic-cli - Turn Pydantic defined Data Models into CLI Tools
