'''

Return None or return a selection set of members

Limit selection to certain member type or types

Limit selection to certain material type or types

Limit selection to one member or allow multiple selections

Option to add all members with the same piecemark to the selection set

If 'single' == False, 'all_mks' is set to False

Function: mem_select(prompt_str, member_list, material_list [, single] [, all_mks])

single defaults to True

all_mks defaults to True

Return a list of member objects. Valid selections are limited to the member types

in 'member_list' and material types in 'material_list'.

Limits the selection to W flange Beams - option to add all members with the same piecemark:

bm_list = mem_select("Select a beam", ['Beam', ], ['W flange', ])

Limits the selection to Tube and Channel, Beams and Columns - allows multiple object selection:

col_list = mem_select("Select columns and beams", ['Beam', 'Column'], ['Tube', 'Channel'], False)

Version 1.01 (3/17/07) - Add check for 'if 'All' in mtrlList'

Version 1.02 (6/7/07) - Disable material type check if 'All' is in material list

Version 1.03 (8/21/07)- Correct warning message:

Warning("You picked a %s. You must pick a the correct member type." % (mem1.type))

Version 1.04 (11/2/07)- Add functions memAreaSelect and memSort
