Cross Platform, Curses-Style Text Editor?

I'm writing a little 'command line simulator' in Python. It runs
completely within regular command lines, using simple prints and
raw_inputs. I need to code a text editor for editing the virtual files
in the simulation. It needs to function somewhat like pywarrior
(ubuntuforums.o rg/showthread.php? t=866035), although simplified, of
course. However, I'd like it to run on as many platforms as possible.
pywarrior only runs on Linux/Mac OS, probably due to the 'curses'
module.

Is there a cross-platform way to write a simple, pywarrior-esque text
editor?

Hi, I'm having trouble with a small curses program. I'm associate a pad with a panel. As I understand, a pad is supposed to be just a window with an arbitrary size. That seems to imply that a pad can be treated like a normal window when working with panels. I have this code: #!/usr/bin/env python import curses import curses.panel

I'd like to write a class or module in python that allows me to do on-the-fly color changing in the curses module. I'm thinking about something along the lines of this: addstr(y, x, 'hello', brightyellow, blue) The module would automatically interpret the above as curses.init_pair(i, curses.COLOR_YELLOW, curses.COLOR_BLUE)

Hey all, this is probably a FAQ, but I didn't found the answer... I use msvcrt.kbhit() to check for a user keyboard event on windows. But now, I would prefer to make the module independent from the platform used. I already know that I can use curses (on linux/unix) or Tkinter. Also, I found this http://my.execpc.com/~geezer/software/kbhit.c C source that has a kbhit() and a getch() for linux/unix that I can SWIG to python.

Are there any good websites or books that deal with cross platform XML? I'd like to target Internet Explorer/Netscape Navigator 5 or later, as well as Opera, possibly konqueror on Linux as well. OT: I'm also looking for books and websites for cross platform XHTML and DHTML.

Thought this might be of interest to some out there... For those who've never encountered it, it's a free, open-source, cross-platform GUI library (Windows/Mac/Linux). Forte's Agent 2.0 will be built with it. AVG is as well.. "wxWindows An open source C++ GUI framework to make cross-platform programming child's play." <http://www.wxwindows.org/>

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...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...
