All of that is easy with curses in C.  Unfortunately, the high level
"panel" and "menu" curses subystems that make it easy aren't included
in the Python curses API, so doing it in Pyhton is a _lot_ more work
than doing it in C.

I always like the Python API for the newt library (yonks ago it was
used for the Redhat installer), but haven't used it for years.
