Simple CLI Menus

Project description

a simple CLI menu

There is a single required argument:
* items - a finite iterable (list, tuple, etc) of items which the user will be prompted to choose from

from pimento import menu
result = menu(['red', 'blue', 'green', 'grey'])

Enter an option to continue:

There are many optional arguments:

from pimento import menu
result = menu(
['RED robin', 'Blue Bonnet', 'green GIANT'],
'Food Sources:',
'Select one [{}]:',
default_index=1,
indexed=True,
insensitive=True,
search=True
)

Prints:
Food Sources:
[0] 'RED robin'
[1] 'Blue Bonnet'
[2] 'green GIANT'
Select one [Blue Bonnet]:

Entering any of the following will get you a result of "Blue Bonnet":
* <enter>
* 1
* Bl
* bonnet

There is a standalone CLI tool of the same name ('pimento'), which is a wrapper for 'pimento.menu', and can be used to create simple menus quickly on the command line.

pimento has been tested on python 2.7.9 and 3.4.3 on OSX.
