    """Entry point for the Graphical User Interface generation.

    Attributes:
        on_action (Callable): The function that is called when a control
            triggers an action, as the result of an interaction with the end-user.<br/>
            It defaults to the `on_action()` global function defined in the Python
            application. If there is no such function, actions will not trigger anything.<br/>
            The signature of the *on_action* callback function must be:

            - *state*: the `State^` instance of the caller.
            - *id* (optional): a string representing the identifier of the caller.
            - *payload* (optional): an optional payload from the caller.
        on_change (Callable): The function that is called when a control
            modifies variables it is bound to, as the result of an interaction with the
            end-user.<br/>
            It defaults to the `on_change()` global function defined in the Python
            application. If there is no such function, user interactions will not trigger
            anything.<br/>
            The signature of the *on_change* callback function must be:

            - *state*: the `State^` instance of the caller.
            - *var_name* (str): The name of the variable that triggered this callback.
            - *var_value* (any): The new value for this variable.
        on_init (Callable): The function that is called on the first connection of a new client.<br/>
            It defaults to the `on_init()` global function defined in the Python
            application. If there is no such function, the first connection will not trigger
            anything.<br/>

            The signature of the *on_init* callback function must be:

            - *state*: the `State^` instance of the caller.
        on_navigate (Callable): The function that is called when a page is requested.<br/>
            It defaults to the `on_navigate()` global function defined in the Python
            application. If there is no such function, page requests will not trigger
            anything.<br/>
            The signature of the *on_navigate* callback function must be:

            - *state*: the `State^` instance of the caller.
            - *page_name*: the name of the page the user is navigating to.
            - *params* (Optional): the query parameters provided in the URL.

            The *on_navigate* callback function must return the name of the page the user should be
            directed to.
        on_exception (Callable): The function that is called an exception occurs on user code.<br/>
            It defaults to the `on_exception()` global function defined in the Python
            application. If there is no such function, exceptions will not trigger
            anything.<br/>
            The signature of the *on_exception* callback function must be:

            - *state*: the `State^` instance of the caller.
            - *function_name*: the name of the function that raised the exception.
            - *exception*: the exception object that was raised.
        on_status (Callable): The function that is called when the status page is shown.<br/>
            It defaults to the `on_status()` global function defined in the Python
            application. If there is no such function, status page content shows only the status of the
            server.<br/>
            The signature of the *on_status* callback function must be:

            - *state*: the `State^` instance of the caller.

            It must return raw and valid HTML content as a string.
        on_user_content (Callable): The function that is called when a specific URL (generated by
            `get_user_content_url()^`) is requested.<br/>
            This callback function must return the raw HTML content of the page to be displayed on
            the browser.

            This attribute defaults to the `on_user_content()` global function defined in the Python
            application. If there is no such function, those specific URLs will not trigger
            anything.<br/>
            The signature of the *on_user_content* callback function must be:

            - *state*: the `State^` instance of the caller.
            - *path*: the path provided to the `get_user_content_url()^` to build the URL.
            - *parameters*: An optional dictionary as defined in the `get_user_content_url()^` call.

            The returned HTML content can therefore use both the variables stored in the *state*
            and the parameters provided in the call to `get_user_content_url()^`.
        state (State^): **Only defined when running in an IPython notebook context.**<br/>
            The unique instance of `State^` that you can use to change bound variables
            directly, potentially impacting the user interface in real-time.

        Arguments:
            page (Optional[Union[str, Page^]]): An optional `Page^` instance that is used
                when there is a single page in this interface, referenced as the *root*
                page (located at `/`).<br/>
                If *page* is a raw string and if it holds a path to a readable file then
                a `Markdown^` page is built from the content of that file.<br/>
                If *page* is a string that does not indicate a path to readable file then
                a `Markdown^` page is built from that string.<br/>
                Note that if *pages* is provided, those pages are added as well.
            pages (Optional[dict]): Used if you want to initialize this instance with a set
                of pages.<br/>
                The method `(Gui.)add_pages(pages)^` is called if *pages* is not None.
                You can find details on the possible values of this argument in the
                documentation for this method.
            css_file (Optional[str]): A pathname to a CSS file that gets used as a style sheet in
                all the pages.<br/>
                The default value is a file that has the same base name as the Python
                file defining the `main` function, sitting next to this Python file,
                with the `.css` extension.
            path_mapping (Optional[dict]): A dictionary that associates a URL prefix to
                a path in the server file system.<br/>
                If the assets of your application are located in */home/me/app_assets* and
                you want to access them using only '*assets*' in your application, you can
                set *path_mapping={"assets": "/home/me/app_assets"}*. If your application
                then requests the file *"/assets/images/logo.png"*, the server searches
                for the file  *"/home/me/app_assets/images/logo.png"*.<br/>
                If empty or not defined, access through the browser to all resources under the directory
                of the main Python file is allowed.
            env_filename (Optional[str]): An optional file from which to load application
                configuration variables (see the
                [Configuration](../gui/configuration.md#configuring-the-gui-instance) section
                of the User Manual for details.)<br/>
                The default value is "taipy.gui.env"
            libraries (Optional[List[ElementLibrary]]): An optional list of extension library
                instances that pages can reference.<br/>
                Using this argument is equivalent to calling `(Gui.)add_library()^` for each
                list's elements.
            flask (Optional[Flask]): An optional instance of a Flask application object.<br/>
                If this argument is set, this `Gui` instance will use the value of this argument
                as the underlying server. If omitted or set to None, this `Gui` will create its
                own Flask application instance and use it to serve the pages.

        !!! note "Reading pages from a directory"
            If *pages* is a string that holds the path to a readable directory, then
            this directory is traversed, recursively, to find files that Taipy can build
            pages from.

            For every new directory that is traversed, a new hierarchical level
            for pages is created.

            For every file that is found:

            - If the filename extension is *.md*, it is read as Markdown content and
              a new page is created with the base name of this filename.
            - If the filename extension is *.html*, it is read as HTML content and
              a new page is created with the base name of this filename.

            For example, say you have the following directory structure:
            ```
            reports
            ├── home.html
            ├── budget/

                ├── monthly.md
                └── yearly.md
            ```

            Calling `gui.add_pages('reports')` is equivalent to calling:
            ```py

        Start the server that delivers pages to web clients.

        Once you enter `run()`, users can run web browsers and point to the web server
        URL that `Gui` serves. The default is to listen to the *localhost* address
        (127.0.0.1) on the port number 5000. However, the configuration of this `Gui`
        object may impact that (see the
        [Configuration](../gui/configuration.md#configuring-the-gui-instance)
        section of the User Manual for details).

        Arguments:
            run_server (bool): Whether or not to run a web server locally.
                If set to *False*, a web server is *not* created and started.
            run_in_thread (bool): Whether or not to run a web server in a separated thread.
                If set to *True*, the web server runs is a separated thread.<br/>
                Note that if you are running in an IPython notebook context, the web
                server always runs in a separate thread.
            async_mode (str): The asynchronous model to use for the Flask-SocketIO.
                Valid values are:<br/>

                - "gevent": Use a [gevent](https://www.gevent.org/servers.html) server.
                - "threading": Use the Flask Development Server. This allows the application to use
                  the Flask reloader (the *use_reloader* option) and Debug mode (the *debug* option).
                - "eventlet": Use an [*eventlet*](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.2.x/deploying/eventlet/)
                  event-driven WSGI server.

                The default value is "gevent"<br/>
                Note that only the "threading" value provides support for the development reloader
                functionality (*use_reloader* option). Any other value makes the *use_reloader* configuration parameter
                ignored.<br/>
                Also note that setting the *debug* argument to True forces *async_mode* to "threading".
            **kwargs (dict[str, any]): Additional keyword arguments that configure how this `Gui` is run.
                Please refer to the
                [Configuration section](../gui/configuration.md#configuring-the-gui-instance)
                of the User Manual for more information.

        Returns:
            The Flask instance if *run_server* is False else None.
