Assuming that the types of user interactions that are required are
fairly structured, it would probably be better to use some sort of
callback mechanism. Making assumptions about being able to talk to the
user via stdin/stdout may work for command-line tools, but it can be
very, very difficult to make the right thing happen in a GUI client.
