py_menu_tui

py_menu_tui is a lightweight terminal user interface (TUI) navigation framework for Python.
It allows developers to quickly build interactive command-line menus with keyboard navigation and nested subsections.

The interface is controlled using simple keys and is designed for Windows terminals using msvcrt.

Features

• Keyboard navigation (w / s)
• Nested menu sections
• Simple function binding to menu entries
• Scrollable menus
• Progress bar utility
• Confirmation prompts
• No external dependencies

Installation

Currently the package can be installed with:

pip install py_menu_tui

Controls

Key	Action
w	Move up
s	Move down
Enter	Select option
Esc	Go back
Ctrl+C	Exit program

Example

from py_menu_tui import UserInterface

def hello():
    print("Hello World")

ui = UserInterface()

ui.setup(
    ["Say Hello"],
    [hello]
)

ui.begin()

Creating Subsections

# Create a subsection
ui.add_sub_section(
    ["Option 1", "Option 2"],
    [func1, func2],
    section="Settings"
)

# Create a nested subsection inside "Settings"
ui.add_sub_section(
    ["Option 1", "Option 2"],
    [func1, func2],
    section="Audio",
    uppersection="Settings"
)
