simple-term-menu creates simple menus for interactive command line programs. It
can be used to offer a choice of different options to the user. Menu entries
can be selected with the arrow, j/k, or emacs (C-n/C-p) keys. The module uses
the terminfo database to detect terminal features automatically and disables
styles that are not available. Currently, Linux and macOS are supported.
Usage: Create a menu with the default style
Create an instance of the class TerminalMenu and pass the menu entries as a
list of strings to the constructor. Call the show method to output the menu
and wait for keyboard input:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu
def main():
options = ["entry 1", "entry 2", "entry 3"]
terminal_menu = TerminalMenu(options)
menu_entry_index = terminal_menu.show()
print(f"You have selected {options[menu_entry_index]}!")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

python: bump all USE_PYTHON=distutils consumers after RUN_DEPENDS removal
Any missed ports, feel free to bump.
Any ports that need setuptools at runtime can have the devel/py-setuptools
manually added back to RUN_DEPENDS, but understand that this practice
is deprecated; see CHANGES for details.
