Yes: snack. It's based on newt/slrn (same as dialog, IIRC).

Good question.  RedHat Linux installs it by default, so I never
had to go find it.  Searching the usual web sites turns up
nothing.

There's also something called Tinter which claims to be "A
curses based interface module for Python. Tinter supports
buttons, text boxes, dialog boxes, progress bars, etc." Search
for it at http://www.vex.net/parnassus.  (I've never tried
Tinter.)
