ncurses-like bindings in interpreted languages

Are there any bindings for 开发者_Go百科ncurses or a similar menuing framework in interpreted languages that make the process of creating console menus and interacting with options absurdly simple?

I want to quickly prototype out a terminal-only configuration utility that runs on a Linux machine, in order to leverage some local resources previously installed.

There's a PERL module exposing CURSES:FORM and CURSES:WIDGETS, though I'm sure they're quite ancient. They may be fine for prototyping, however.

urwid for Python is pretty simple (see some examples) and is actively maintained.

The Dialog utility might be what you want.

The Python standard library comes with a curses module that you can use for this. Also, here is a HOWTO.
