dumb-menu-lw 1.0.4

A light weight command line menu that supports Windows

dumb_menu

simple_term_menu don't support windows, so I made dumb_menu.

dumb_menu is not as powerful as simple_term_menu , but this a GOOD OLD MENU .

dumb_menu is a light weight command line menu that supports Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

Installation

pip install lw-menu

https://pypi.org/project/dumb-menu/

Usage

example:

import lw_menu
options = ["[1]Option 1", "[2]Option 2", "[3]Option 3","[q]quit"]
index = lw_menu.get_menu_choice(options)
print(f"You selected option {index + 1}: {options[index]}")

import os
import lw_menu

def loopmenu():
    options = ["[1]happy",
            "[2]sad",
            "[3]give me a cookie",
            "[q]quit"]
    index = lw_menu.get_menu_choice(options,isclean = True)
    # clear screen, cls for windows, clear for linux
    os.system('cls') 
    # Python 3.10+ only,old version could use if-else
    match index:
        case 0:
            print(":)")
        case 1:
            print(":(")
        case 2:
            print("🍪ヾ(•ω•`)o")
        case 3:
            exit()
    input('Press ENTER to continue...')
