Textual: A Python Text User Interface with Rich as the Renderer
It's great to see some more competitors on the TUI front of the Python ecosystem! I recently tried multiple existing frameworks and was not particularly happy with the state.
Here are the main contenders for libraries that provide higher-level API than urwid/ncurses:
* Picotui, https://github.com/pfalcon/picotui
* Npyscreen, https://github.com/npcole/npyscreen
* py_cui, https://github.com/jwlodek/py_cui
Both Picotui and Npyscreen are relatively unmaintained / considered feature-full. py_cui seems to be in the best shape.
Fingers crossed for this project making it through, building on top of Rich gives it quite a bit of headstart. You can also sponsor @willmcgugan on Github [0].

This Week In Python
pycopy – a minimalist and memory-efficient Python dialect
- I'm making a text based adventure for a college project, but can't figure out the main menu.
- Is there a way to check if there is any input waiting on the stdin buffer?
