menu.py

^{_{created by deadyeti ([e-mail])}}

Introduction

menu.py is still in the early stages of development, it is not recommended that you download this package at this time.

menu.py is a lightweight and easy-to-use python module used to quickly and efficiently create in-terminal menus that work in both Command Prompt and Windows PowerShell. Using menu.py, a developer can either create a selection menu, where users select an option from a pre-determined list of options, or a user-input menu, where users type their input. (in development)

Key Features

✔️ fast and efficient
✔️ supports the use of colors
✔️ variable refresh-rate
✔️ easy to use
✔️ actively supported

Installation

To install this module using pip:

py -m pip install menu.py

I always try to keep the most up-to-date version on pypi, but in case you need to install the most up-to-date version from github:

$ git clone https://github.com/readyyeti/menu.py
$ cd menu
$ python 3 -m pip install

Quick Example

from menu import *
from time import sleep

example_menu = menu('app_or_file_name')
theme = 'blue'

def main_menu():

   # setting up the page name and menu options
   page_name = 'name_of_page'
   text = [
      'please choose from the following options:'
   ]
   options = [
      'option #1',    # CASE 1
      'option #2',    # CASE 2
      '_skip_',       # _skip_ is ignored by menu.py
      'exit'          # CASE 3
   ]

   # generate menu
   selection = example_menu.generate_selection(page_name, options, text, theme)

   match selection:
      case 1:
         menuprint('you selected option 1'), sleep(2)
      case 2:
         menuprint('you selected option 2'), sleep(2)
      case 3:
         example_menu.terminate()
         exit()
   
   return

while True:
   main_menu()
