Hello list,
I need to write a console application.
Are there any wrappers around curses/ncurses?
Or any other similar libraries?
Thanks.

The answer depends on your chosen platform. Python hasn't got a
cross-platform console library as one of its included batteries.
First try the curses module. It does come with Python on systems
with a curses port.
For Windows, there's the Effbot's console module. http://effbot.org/zone/console-index.htm
Or go to plan B: Use a Tkinter or other GUI interface's text
widget.

Forgot to say, i don't need it to work on windows :)

Why not just use VT100 escape sequences directly? Terminal emulators don't
support anything else.

Python has its own 'curses' module in the standard library of course.
<URL:http://docs.python.org/lib/module-curses>
That's if you want to work directly with the curses functionality,
which is rather low-level.
Or any other similar libraries?
The library that I always think of when I think "Python ncurses
wrapper" is:
Urwid is a console user interface library for Python.
<URL:http://excess.org/urwid/>
Available as a package (e.g. 'python-urwid') in most GNU/Linux
distributions, or you can install it from the download link.

Hello;
I'm writing a program with curses in python and having a bit of trouble
understanding how to use unittest. So far, I have used testing
successfully -- as long as the report goes to stdout (or does unittest
write to stderr?)
The curses part of the program seems to affect unittest's writing of the
report. The screen is not what the report expects, so a lot of
information is in the wrong place after the program exits. (I actually...

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...

Hello.
The last weeks I've been coding a roguelike (you know, like nethack) in
python using the nCurses library. Some week ago I ran into a problem:
When I made the object for messagebar-output, I found a bug that I
can't figure out (believe me; I've tried everything and asked for help
several times on the IRC-channel).
The updateMsg() and iMsg() takes a list of message-lines as argument
(or process a string to a list), and it'll output...

I need to develop a cross-platform text-mode application. I would like
to do it in Python and I would like to use a mature text-mode library
for the UI stuff.
The obvious choice, I thought, was ncurses. But as far as I can tell,
it is not available for Python on Windows?
Is there a workaround? Or are there alternative libraries that might
be used instead of (n)curses? I know I can use (n)curses on *nix and
console on Windows etc., but...

Hi All,
Recently I ran into a problem with UTF-8 surrport when using curses
library in python 2.5 in Fedora 7. I found out that the program using
curses cannot print out unicode characters correctly on UTF-8 enabled
console. I googled around and got an impression that the reason for
this problem is that python is linked with libcurses library instead
of libcursesw. The latter one is said to be able to solve this
problem. Has anybody...

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,...
