I'm using Python with the curses import for a console application. I'd like to add a typical Menu bar at the top. I've found a couple different libraries, as well as the Python built-in panel feature for doing so, but since I'm pretty new to Python I'm wondering if there are better options out there? I just don't want to end up wrassling with something that isn't all that widely used or supported.

  • This should really belong on the software recs stack exchange. It is off-topic for stackoverflow as it is not asking about a specific programming problem but rather an off-site resource. – anon582847382 Mar 20 '14 at 20:37
  • I really don't understand the logic behind this community sometimes. Asking about a current/preferred tool for software development is about as on-topic as it gets. – wufoo Mar 20 '14 at 20:42

    @wufoo No, [it is not on topic](https://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic). Quoting: "Some questions are still off-topic, even if they fit into one of the categories listed above: [...] Questions asking us to recommend or find a tool, library or favorite off-site resource **are off-topic for Stack Overflow** as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it." – Louis Mar 20 '14 at 23:02
  • Serioulsy? Ok, how about this one guys?: "software tools commonly used by programmers practical, answerable problems that are unique to software development… then you’re in the right place to ask your question!" Like I said, the logic of many on this forum is really baffling sometimes. – wufoo Mar 21 '14 at 13:05

I just skimmed the description of curses, so I don't know if it's relevant to you trying to implement a main menu, but I know a lot of people use tkinter.
