A simple Python menu-based UI system for terminal applications. Perfect for those times when you need a menu-driven program, but don’t want the overhead or learning curve of a full-fledged GUI framework.
Derived from the curses-menu project, but with curses dependency removed.

Tested on Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6, as well as pypy and pypy 3.
Installation can be performed by running pip
pip install console-menuIt's designed to be pretty simple to use. Here's an example
# Import the necessary packages
from consolemenu import *
from consolemenu.items import *
# Create the menu
menu = ConsoleMenu("Title", "Subtitle")
# Create some items
# MenuItem is the base class for all items, it doesn't do anything when selected
menu_item = MenuItem("Menu Item")
# A FunctionItem runs a Python function when selected
function_item = FunctionItem("Call a Python function", input, ["Enter an input"])
# A CommandItem runs a console command
command_item = CommandItem("Run a console command", "touch hello.txt")
# A SelectionMenu constructs a menu from a list of strings
selection_menu = SelectionMenu(["item1", "item2", "item3"])
# A SubmenuItem lets you add a menu (the selection_menu above, for example)
# as a submenu of another menu
submenu_item = SubmenuItem("Submenu item", selection_menu, menu)
# Once we're done creating them, we just add the items to the menu
menu.append_item(menu_item)
menu.append_item(function_item)
menu.append_item(command_item)
menu.append_item(submenu_item)
# Finally, we call show to show the menu and allow the user to interact
menu.show()
