#Purpose: to demonstrate the use of a Python menu program
# that permits the user to select/unselect any program on
# the menu.

#Functions Used:
# test1_i(n,name="test1_i")
# test2_i(n,name="test2_i")
# IX_exit_i(n,name="exit_i")
#

    if reply=="": return True # do next menu item
    #programmer should insert all the code for the menu item
    #
    # here
    #
    print("This runs: ",name)
    return True

#IX_menu_i.py
# by D@CC on 2023JOct26
#  tested on 2023JOct26
#Purpose: a Python menu for "_i" routines
# "_i" means "improvised" as in "an improvised program"
# Every "_i" function is put in the moduleList
# The user hits CR to NOT run the module
#          hits any key (eg "Y" CR) to run the module
# IX_exit_i() if run, can exit from this program
#                  but only if CR is NOT hit eg "Y" CR 
# each module will return True to return to the menu
#                      or False to exit from the menu
# It is suggested that the module name and the menu prompt be identical
#  eg test1_i.py

# At least 4 modules must be in the IX_menu_i system:
# 1. one or more modules to be called by the menu eg test1_i.py
# 2. the exit module eg IX_exit_i.py
# 3. the module list eg IX_list_i.py
# 4. the menu module ie IX_menu_i.py

# module 1 must be written by the programmer
# module 3 must be created by the IXp program
# modules 2 and 4 must be used "as is"
