since there is not any progress about supporting windows, i made this if any one need ! dumb_menu
I have played around a bit in the last two days and got at least the basic basic functions in ‘Windows Terminal’ to work:
At first sight it looks like entry selection, colors, preview and search (just couldn’t get
<backspace>to work as expected) could work fine without too many changes.I have close to no knowledge about Windows Terminal and CMD handling, but I figured following key points might be quiet challenging to implement:
and most likely some other things and edge cases, which I have not considered yet. Without external dependencies, the amount of code is likely to grow a lot. I have also used some shortcuts which could benefit from a proper implementation (e.g. use of sys.stdin/out, instat of a proper stream handle).
But perhaps I have overlooked some simpler solutions.
Just to mention it works fine on wsl as @jDan735 indicated. Check this out (WSL2 Ubuntu LTS 18.04.5)
The next release will at least throw a more descriptive exception for non-supported platforms.
python-inquirer is also a good choice(supports cross-platform and single/multiple selection, etc). Hope it will save your life. I use it in my project - pkgu.
