Making a button?

Question

So I have this simple menu in python:

1 - x
2 - y
3 - z
what you gonna do?

I want to ask user to press a number to choose the option but I can't figure it out, instead of making user write the option and pressing enter, I want the user to press number and do the option! How can I achieve this?

You should look into one of the graphical libraries: `PyQt` for example, but there are a lot of them. And see if you can follow a tutorial. — Stefan van den Akker, Oct 29 '15 at 10:15

Try Tkinter module it is a built in module so it comes with python. Start Here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter — J.Clarke, Mar 14 '16 at 00:45

You can't really achieve this without using a graphical library. Such as opengl or pygame. This is a great page for python libary's https://wiki.python.org/moin/UsefulModules

A button is a "visual" component, and thus requires a library of some sort to develop with relative ease. As Neftas mentions, there are a number of these libraries out there for free, one being PyQt.
