INPUTSELECT

"inputselect" is a tool for selecting options on the Python command line. "inputselect" works by only presenting the user with the options that the developer wants them to pick, and forces them to choose before moving on. It eliminates the hassle of trying to get the user to choose only from a set of specific options, and fixes the trouble with typos and repeat loops.
