In the specific case of GetMyAncestors, a plumber’s nightmare Gramplet could create a wrapper for an un-forked GetMyAncestors. The Gramplet installer could include the entire External tool & dependencies. (To eliminate the installation woes.) It would require layering a GUI on top of their CLI functionality and some double-piping for the data. (Their GEDCOM output into a cache folder, which is sucked in through a preconfigured GEDCOM import)

Plumber’s Nightmares have a tendency to back up and spill sewage everywhere. So you’d want to run it with a blank Tree and then import the resulting .gramps into your main Tree. (So a bucket brigade along with that double-piping.)
