python-inquirer is a Python library providing a collection of common interactive command line user interfaces, inspired by Inquirer.js. It eases asking end users questions, parsing and validating answers, managing hierarchical prompts, and providing error feedback.

Use cases

• ask interactive questions in a python cli script
• prompt users for text input with validation on the command line
• build multi-choice and checkbox menus in a terminal app
• collect long-form answers by opening the user's editor
• create hierarchical command line prompts with error feedback

When to choose

• you are building a Python CLI tool that needs interactive prompts
• you want an Inquirer.js-style prompting experience in Python
• you need answer validation and hierarchical prompt handling out of the box

When to avoid

• you need robust Windows support, which is only experimental
• you are building a non-Python CLI tool
• you need a full TUI framework with panels and event loops rather than simple prompts
