Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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?

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].

Using Textual to Build a ChatGPT TUI App
Several libraries, such as urwid or PyTermGUI, allow the development of TUI applications in Python. For enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of TUI apps, they offer some fundamental and more sophisticated utilities. But there is one package that is truly exceptional and might even be so amazing that it sparks a TUI renaissance (I really wanted to put "TUI renaissance" somewhere in this article).

How difficult is ncurses?
There are plenty of terminal UI libraries that are actually nice to work with. For Python, there's Textual and PyTermGUI. For Rust, there's ratatui and Cursive (or, if you want something a bit lower level, crosster or termion). For Go, there's bubbletea.

Any Good Recommendations for a Tutorial on PyTermGUI?
Talking about resources, their docs are pretty good and contains some examples too. Documentation: https://ptg.bczsalba.com/pytermgui.html

Create TUI's (Terminal User Interface) using Textual
Have you tried PyTermGUI? It looks promising, but I wonder if there are any pitfalls. I need to build a professional CLI for a robot, and half-baked packages just won't do.

Looking for Github projects with strong communities and Discords. Active and frequently mentoring new-comers.
While the community is relatively small right now, my TUI framework PyTermGUI has a lot of the attributes you're looking for! We don't currently have a section dedicated to this yet, but if you come to the discord I'm sure we can help you :)
- Version 7.2.0 brings automatically generated palettes using color theory!
- The brand-new TIM engine arrives with version 7.0.0!
-
Verison 6.3.0 has cometh, featuring the new InputField!
Check out the changelog here.
- Ask HN: Are there any high-level TUI tools?

Menus in Python
I suspect that the reason you didn't find much is that usually people need a whole textual user interface (or TUI). And there's quite a few libraries for those, like pytermgui or textual, and some more low-level tools in that area like prompt-toolkit
What are some alternatives?
py_cui - A python library for intuitively creating CUI/TUI interfaces with widgets, inspired by gocui.
textual - The lean application framework for Python. Build sophisticated user interfaces with a simple Python API. Run your apps in the terminal and a web browser.
npyscreen - Automatically exported from code.google.com/p/npyscreen
rich - Rich is a Python library for rich text and beautiful formatting in the terminal.
asciimatics - A cross platform package to do curses-like operations, plus higher level APIs and widgets to create text UIs and ASCII art animations
urwid - Console user interface library for Python (official repo)
micropython-ssd1327 - MicroPython driver for SSD1327 128x128 4-bit greyscale OLED displays
black - The uncompromising Python code formatter
picoweb - Really minimal web application framework for the Pycopy project (minimalist Python dialect) and its "uasyncio" async framework
vtm - Text-based desktop environment
