groupick

image PyPI PyPI

groupick is a small python library based on wong2's pick which allows you to create a curses-based interactive selection in the terminal. With groupick you can assign options to groups.

Installation

$ pip install groupick

Usage

groupick comes with a simple api:

>>> from groupick import groupick

>>> instructions = "Assign languages to groups 'a', 'b' or '1'."
>>> options = ["Java", "JavaScript", "Python", "PHP", "C++", "Erlang", "Haskell"]
>>> groups:set = {"a", "b", 1}
>>> selected = groupick(options, groups, instructions, indicator="=>", default_index=2)
>>> print(f"Here is your assignment: {selected}")

output:

>>> {'1': [], 'a': [("JavaScript", 1)], 'b': []}

Options

  • options: a list of options to choose from
  • groups: a list of ints and/or characters symbolising groups (max-length per item is 1)
  • instructions: (optional) a title above options list
  • indicator: (optional) custom the selection indicator, defaults to *
  • default_index: (optional) index of item where cursor starts at by default
  • handle_all: (optional) define whether it is mandatory to assign all options to groups, defaults to False
  • screen: (optional), if you are using groupick within an existing curses application, pass your existing screen object. It is assumed this has initialised in the standard way (e.g. via curses.wrapper(), or curses.noecho(); curses.cbreak(); screen.kepad(True))
