clinterface 0.1.0

Runtime Python utilities

A small collection of tools to display messages and prompts with autocompletion and interactive menus. It is partly based on bullet.

Quick start

Import the module

import clinterface

Create a default Selector instance

selector = clinterface.Selector()

or create a customized Selector instance

selector = clinterface.Selector(
   shift = 1,
   indent = 3,
   align = 2,
   margin = 1,
   pad_left = 1,
   pad_right = 1,
   radiobullet = '*',
   checkbullet = '+',
)

Set the message, options and default choice

selector.message = 'Choose the best day of the week:'
selector.options = ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday']
selector.default = 'Friday'

and prompt for a single choice

selector.single_choice()

Set the message and default choices but use the same options

selector.message = 'Choose the best days of the week:'
selector.default = ['Friday', 'Saturday']

and prompt for multiple choices

selector.multiple_choice()
