Consider adding install instructions to readme.md. In particular,
sudo pip install urwid
Ez-install system could also work. System should prompt for syntax to install pip, as needed.

Am I just "doing it wrong" or is filtering broken on MacOS X? When I try e.g.

echo -e 'apple\npear\ngrape\nbanana' | choose

and then type 'ap' to filter to apple & grape, it correctly filters those.

BUT, if I backspace and change 'ap' to 'an' - instead of showing 'banana' it shows nothing and I have to CTRL+C to quit out.

On macOS with Python 3.11:

$ docker ps | choose -1
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/choose/0.1.0_4/libexec/bin/choose:138: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
  if len(names) is 1:
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE     COMMAND   CREATED   STATUS    PORTS     NAMES

Hello,
Could you please tag a release here so we could use it to have choose in Homebrew core?
Thanks!

Hello Christian, thanks for this script : it is comes handy indeed !
I actually can not use "choose" as I would, for when I select a line, it gets printed, but not piped.

I am not a shell guru, but I would say my console uses /dev/pts/1 as tty
not /dev/tty which is hardcoded at the end of your script :
any chance used tty can be detected and used in your script ?

Thanks, Arnaudv6
