Asciiville VS asciimatics

Very cool. However, I had to trim my README down a lot to comply with the maximum context length. I told hu to write a lyrical poem in the style of John Keats that explains the idea of my Asciiville project. Not bad! I feel like I'm going to need to get better at providing sculpted context to produce quality output. Here's "Keats" description of Asciiville:

I wrote Asciiville mostly as a way to generate and display Ascii Art. However, it has grown into a suite of command line utilities and custom configurations. For example, Asciiville includes a NeoMutt configuration that easily supports using NeoMutt as an NNTP client to read and post to Usenet newsgroups. Similarly, newsboat jrnl, tuir, w3m, and other command line tools all have custom configurations installed to integrate their use with Asciiville use cases. It's been fun. But now I have other projects that need attention so this will be my last release of Asciiville for the next couple of months or more. Please enjoy and let me know what I can do to improve Asciiville. Here are the release notes for Asciiville Version 1.4.1r1 released today.

Asciiville version 1.4.0 release 1 was released today. Asciiville is a suite of commands that support the generation and viewing of ASCII Art, ASCII Animation, as well as the configuration and launching of a variety of console-based applications and games. Asciiville is an open source project that leverages, integrates, and extends several other open source projects to provide a rich text-based environment. Included with the Asciiville distribution packages are several high quality Ascii Art galleries and animations.

I wrote a short article on the history of Ascii Art. Let me know if you have suggestions for improvement or criticism of any kind.

I released Asciiville version 1.3.1 release 2 today. The Asciiville project provides integration and extension of man Linux open source packages as well as providing commands to invoke a variety of components used to display ASCII Art, ASCII animations, and command line utilities.

For small apps, I may choose a TUI (Terminal User Interface). Curses for Python is very lightweight, but quite low level and difficult to use for anything more than a very simple interface (if your app tries to draw outside of the drawing area, the app crashes, so you have to carefully manage every detail). Textual and asciimatics are both mature TUI frameworks that provide a higher level and more Pythonic way to create TUI's.

If you are looking for something more flexible that just printing to a terminal, take a look at Asciimatics and textual. Both are available from Pypi.

Scroll down to the TUI example in the README, just above the documentation link: https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics

I have made yet another ssh connection manager with TUI, using asciimatics and tinyDB.

Personally I dig the aesthetics of asciimatics, it's quite handy and cross-platform.

I've used asciimatics in the past to good effect.
