ANSWER
Answered 2018-Aug-12 at 10:35For an easier to use text user interface library for python, have a look at pythondialog instead.
If you really want to use the curses menu extension instead, you need to invest learning time to learn curses, because it is not easy to use. Have a look at the ncurses programming howto. It teaches ncurses programming in C. After learning curses basics and how to use the curses menu extension in C from this howto, you can transfer what you have learned to python.

Install curses-menu
You can use curses-menu like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
