For something simpler, your two best options are dialog and newt:

 http://pythondialog.sourceforge.net/

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newt_%28programming_library%29
 https://hurley.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/create-simple-ansi-based-ui-with-python-newt/
 http://www.wanware.com/tsgdocs/snack.html

I'm rather partial to newt since it was intended from day 1 for use
with Python. It was written by RedHat many, many years ago for use in
their console-mode-installer (which was written in Python).

But, the docs are pretty sparse, and it's not very active these days.
