Using Python would be nicer from a development perspective I looked at the Urwid examples[1], can it be made to look more like whiptail dialogs from the Debian installer, dpkg/debconf, etc? One reason for trying to have that look and feel is that it will give users confidence in the system by being consistent. Regards, Daniel 1. http://urwid.org/examples/index.html
