ncurses-like bindings in interpreted languages

Are there any bindings for ncurses or a similar menuing framework in interpreted languages that make the process of creating console menus and interacting with options absurdly simple?

I want to quickly prototype out a terminal-only configuration utility that runs on a Linux machine, in order to leverage some local resources previously installed.

The Python standard library comes with a curses module that you can use for this. Also, here is a HOWTO.

The Dialog utility might be what you want.

urwid for Python is pretty simple (see some examples) and is actively maintained.

There's a PERL module exposing CURSES:FORM and CURSES:WIDGETS, though I'm sure they're quite ancient. They may be fine for prototyping, however.
