What I would do is create an object for your data and write a function to return the object reference. Then, generates your gui and give your object reference as an input.

When you run your function from the command line, the object reference will be returned to the main level and you will be able to access the properties of your object as well as interact with your GUI.

Sort of complicated to explain, but I have done it and it is not that bad...
