Installing a script...how

I am using windows python 3.x through visual studio, and i want to make a window that allow user to pick from a list with arrowkeys and enter to make a selection. i found a script named "pick" that seem to do exactly that. However I cannot figure out how to install the script and use its commands! Extremely frustrating, I feel like an idiot. thanks for any help

Yeah..tried. To be honest I don't even fathom what I am trying to do. The way I intrrpret it, is that i am trying to "install" a module which allow me to envoke new calls or commands in a program which are not part of the python core code..things like gui etc. only instructions i see are "Indtallstion: pip install pick" and thats it

👍👍👍 Remember that this serve ONLY for install the pick package with pip (that its a package manager for python) ... I readed that you have to install also curses for windows from a determinate source but that will be do after solved problem with pip

If you have python 3 >= 3.4 you have yet pip installed... Then, when you would, check this... After make sure that your version is >= open a new cmd and write python -m pip install pick press enter and tell me what happens

Hey. I understand now. I located my 3.7 python.exe and typed in "python.exe -m pip install pick" and it downloaded and installed it...like magic! :P How it "magically" knows what "pick" is from the internet - I have no idea. I downloaded "pick" and unzipped it to a folder, but that seems to never have been neccesary. I cannot find much documentation on how to use "pick" tho, but there are some sample-codes in the package so I will take a look at that and see if I can make use of it. Thanks alot! (Haven't tested that it works, but it seems to be installed now)
