pythondialog

Although not part of the Python standard library,
perhaps someone might be able to help with getting pythondialog running.
Following the tutorial
(https://pythondialog.sourceforge.io/doc/intro/intro.html) results in
an error/problem I've been unable to circumvent:

(gui)
[/home/alex] $ pip list
Package      Version
------------ -------
pip          25.2
pythondialog 3.5.3
setuptools   80.9.0
wheel        0.45.1
(gui)
[/home/alex] $ cat trydialog.py
#!/usr/bin/env python3

# File: trydialog.py

from dialog import Dialog

d = Dialog(dialog="dialog")
#"/home/alex/.virtualenvs/gui/lib/python3.11/site-packages/dialog.py")

code, tag = d.menu("Header Text",
                   choices = [
        ("Tag 1", "Item text 1"),
        ("Tag 1", "Item text 1"),
        ("Tag 1", "Item text 1"),
        ])

(gui)
[/home/alex] $ ./trydialog.py

The 'dialog' module was suggested to me by Alan G. in some
correspondence a couple of years ago.
All the best to everyone.
