I need text-console interactive dialogs. I am porting a shell script to Python. Which Python tool would do pretty much exactly what the UNIX command dialog does? (i.e. ready-to-use yes/no, calendar, text, gauge, etc. controls which return results and are ncurses-like full-screen UIs)
You should look at Urwid.
Urwid provides a higher-level toolkit on top of curses and includes an event loop to handle keyboard and mouse input. It either uses it’s own select-based event loop, or can hook into gevent or Twisted.
In addition to handling keyboard input efficiently you’ll also have a host of options to handle user input with edit boxes, list controls and more.
