PyInquirer is a Python module providing a collection of common interactive command line user interfaces, ported from Inquirer.js. It lets developers build immersive CLI applications with prompts for asking questions, validating answers, and managing hierarchical input flows.

Use cases

• ask users interactive questions in a python cli
• build interactive command line prompts in python
• validate user input from the terminal
• create multi-step wizard-style cli prompts
• port inquirer.js-style prompts to python
• collect user choices with list and checkbox prompts

When to choose

• you are building a Python CLI app that needs interactive prompts
• you want Inquirer.js-like question flows in Python
• you need styled, validated terminal input with minimal setup

When to avoid

• you need a actively maintained library - the project is seeking a new maintainer
• you are on modern prompt_toolkit versions, since it pins prompt_toolkit 1.0.14
• you prefer its maintained successor projects like questionary
