py-menu-tui 0.2.10

This project implements a keyboard-controlled text user interface (TUI) for the terminal that allows users to navigate menus and nested subsections using simple key inputs (w, s, Enter, Esc). It provides a lightweight framework for building interactive CLI applications with features like menu navigation, subsections, progress bars, and confirmation prompts.
