Hi
I want to write a little application for the shell with a
userinterface that is not line based. Think of the UI of mc for
example. And I want to use Python on different Operating Systems.
So it should be portable.
Now what would you prefer as UI-library? I'm searching for a
highlevel library with buttons, text boxes, dialog boxes,
progress bars, ...
I have heard of:
- curses, ncurses ... low-level
- snack ... wrapper for newt and slang
- tinter
Do you know of any other good library that is widely available?
I have seen a lot of examples for curses and ncurses but not for
the others.
Snack seems to be only available for Linux and not well documented?!?
thanks for any help!

Snack should compile on any platform where SLang runs -- except Windows,
of course. If you mean "Windows, Linux, MacOS, MacOSX, OS/2 and any
other system where Python runs", there is no such library. In fact, if
you mean "Windows and Linux", there's nothing here also.
Text-mode interfaces are rather rare animals now.

I'm playing around with curses, and have had some problems with
that... For example, I can't make colours work in Python, although
several other curses-based programs use colours on my box. (ncurses, I
suppose -- and some maybe slang?) Does Python use ncurses now -- or?
But the colours aren't that important. More important is my inability
to get latin 1 characters to work in Textpad objects. (I can't get the
page up/down and backspace...

Hi,
I had done a quick read of the curses documentation for python. Upon the
second reading I found that curses is not supported on windows. I was
wondering if it would be relatively simple to use the python wrapper for
curses on unix (is there such a beast?) to wrap ncurses or the like on
windows? Optionally, are there any major obstacles to writing a python
wrapper for ncurses or any other curses-like library for windows?
Thanks,...

Hi all,
I want to use curses in a server application that provides a GUI for
telnet clients. Therefore, I need the functionality to open and handle
several
screens. Concerning
http://dickey.his.com/ncurses/ncurses-intro.html#init
this can be done using the function newterm(type,ofp,ifp). However, this
function seems not to be defined in the python library. Does anyone know
how this can be done in python?

As soon as my sourceforge.net project gets approved, I am going to
build a ncurses port to win32 bindable to sockets, e.g. allowing
VT100/ANSI terminals and the creation of simple terminal servers using
the ncurses API for the UI. I plan to initially support only a subset
of the ncurses lib, leaving the lib open to expansion/completion.
Please stop me if I am going to reinvent the wheel, and tell me if
there are any libraries of this...

I'm having no success building the curses module on Solaris 8 (yes, I know
it's ancient - advancing the state-of-the-art is not yet an option) for
Python 2.4. Sun provides an apparently ancient version of curses in
/usr/lib, so I downloaded and installed ncurses 5.5, both using default
settings and using --with-shared. When the curses module is linked against
libcurses.so I get some strange error about acs32map being undefined (which...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
