Project description
# dumb_menu
[](https://pepy.tech/project/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 dumb-menu
```

## Usage
example:
```python
import dumb_menu
options = ["[1]Option 1", "[2]Option 2", "[3]Option 3","[q]quit"]
index = dumb_menu.get_menu_choice(options)
print(f"You selected option {index + 1}: {options[index]}")
```

another example:
```python
import os
import dumb_menu
def loopmenu():
options = ["[1]happy",
"[2]sad",
"[3]give me a cookie",
"[q]quit"]

# 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")
