ThisPy: Run Python Scripts with a TUI

ThisPy is a simple bash tool to select and run Python files from the current directory using a TUI (Text User Interface) within the Terminal. There’s no need to type or copy-paste long python filenames, keeping your clipboard free for other tasks. Files are automatically sorted by last modified time, making it easy to access priority scripts.
