By "only python libs" do you mean only the stuff that's
included in the vanilla CPython distro? If that's the case,
then curses is pretty much the only choice. Last time I
looked, it didn't work on Windows.
I've used the snack module (which is what anaconda uses), and
it's very handy for simple text-based UIs.
at ports (FreeBSD) i've found this:
Port: snack-2.2.7
Path: /usr/ports/audio/snack
Info: A sound toolkit for scripting languages
Unfortunately there are two modules with the same name. The one
you found is a sound library.
The other one is the Python wrapped version of the newt
library. I've no idea why the Python newt module is called
"snack". The new source code comes with the Python "snack"
module wrapper.
The most recent version I have handy is available at
ftp://ftp.visi.com/users/grante/stuff/newt-0.50.tar.gz
There appear to be more recent versions available:

http://linux.maruhn.com/sec/newt.html
http://www.freshports.org/devel/newt
There's a rather outdated tutorial on using Newt v0.30 from C:
http://www.oksid.ch/gnewt/tutorial.html
Newt requires the s-lang library:

that is exactly i need. i'll try it.
thanks.
