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].

My First Solo Project (Tips?)
You're probably going to want to do this in a TUI. If I was going to attempt this project, I think I'd try py_cui which was written by a fellow Redditor u/QbaPolak17. Another possible (buy maybe less pretty) option is picotui. I've not implemented either of these, but py_cui looks fun.

I pushed my first real project !
So, when I found the different commands to get back my file and recover it, I wanted to create a clear UI to do it. Searching for a CUI library, I've stumbled upon py_cui, based on curses, it has a really easy learning curve. Easy to get it running.

I dit it with py_cui, it's based on curses library but really easier to work with.

Advice for creating my first game?
separate logic and presentation - so, for example, you can start off with a very simple console based solution, move to a more advanced text/console user interface (using e.g. blessed), then onto a simple GUI or webapp

CLI interfaces with choice highlighting
blessed is a good example.

A good python library to replace libtcod for terminal play?
Well, my current plan is to use one of the more modern curses-replacements (I'm thinking of blessed, a blessings fork), since they seem a lot easier to use than curses. If I hit a speed bottleneck with blessed, the plan is to switch over to curses...

Objexplore: A terminal UI to inspect and explore Python objects
I created a terminal app called Objexplore to interactively inspect and explore Python objects. It was a fun project and uses the rich and blessed packages. Take a look at the github readme for a quick demo.

Fancy console
blessed - This module is a wrapper around curses, and aims to make doing things with it simpler.

Any Python/Curses resources?
You might also consider more modern approach like blessed or maybe go low-level in the style of how urwid handles terminal input and output.
