curses-util 0.0.6

No project description provided

Goals

A collection of curses utils for performing simple UI tasks. Currently this includes a simple console and a menu with vi-like bindings.

Installation

Requires python 3.

pip3 install curses-util should do the trick, or else python setup.py install from source.

Usage

SimpleConsole

A dirt simple console based interface.

from curses_util import SimpleConsole

def oninput(console, msg):
    if msg == '/exit':
        console.exit()

    console.log("Received {0} as input".format(msg))

console = SimpleConsole(oninput)
console.log("Welcome from the main thread.")

Menu

This can be used to vend a collection of items which the user may then select one or more of. Navigation can be performed using standard vi bindings (count operands are also supported) or via the arrow keys. Multiple items can be selected if the user presses m over each of the items they wish to select and then presses enter.

import curses_util

menu = curses_util.Menu()

items = range(100)
selected = menu.vend(items, display=lambda x: str(x))

print("The following item was selected: " + selected)

selected = menu.multi_vend(items, display=str)
print("The following items were selected: \n")
print("\n".join(selected), "\n")

Bugs, etc..

If you bother to read the code and invariably feel the need to abuse the person who wrote it, know that such sentiments will be happily received at [e-mail].
