I have a dictionary called Menu_Main:
Menu_Main = { 1: ['People', Call_Fam],
2: ['Groups', Call_Group],
3: ['Events', nullfunc],
4: ['Attendance', nullfunc],
5: ['Visitation', nullfunc],
6: ['Finances', nullfunc],
7: ['Administration', nullfunc],
10: ['Help', nullfunc], # I would like to make the
"10" an "h"
12: ['Quit', 'return']} # and the "12" a "q".
I assume the keys can be of mixed types. However, I'm not sure how to adjust
my code below that actually drives the menu system. I changed "input" to
"raw_input", but I get "H is not defined" when I run the script. Essentially,
I'd like the user to enter a number for most items, but use letters for "Help",
"Quit", and "Back to Main".
def RunMenu(MenuList):
'''This is the function that drives the menu system.
We place the "clear screen" command twice to provide a fresh screen for
each menu level. We then call the menus above to display them. There is a
special value for MenuList[sel][1] of 'return' which is the exit condition
for the loop. look at the entry for 9 of Menu_Main, or item 8 of Menu_Fam.
'''
while True:
for opts in MenuList.keys():# print menu list
print opts, ': ', MenuList[opts][0] #
sel = input('Enter Selection:') # get input
if sel in MenuList.keys(): #verify user input is a valid key
if MenuList[sel][1] == 'return': return MenuList[sel][0]
else: MenuList[sel][1]()
Thanks,
Don
