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.

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
python-prompt-toolkit

Is there a library that can give python-prompt-toolkit like completion for TUI?

Show HN: Replbuilder, quickly build a Python REPL CLI prompt
> The purpose is not to do this however, the goal for a repl cli is usually to invoke a set of particular, already implemented commands, not on the fly python input and output. The implementation will be predefined and packaged, repl are only used to run a list of specific commands with arguments that implementation has already defined.
That's a very strange definition for a REPL, I would just call that an (interactive) CLI. Maybe that's why you couldn't find anything when you were doing your search? I used python-prompt-toolkit [0] when building such interfaces. pgcli [1] is an example of such an interface built with prompt-toolkit.
It has a lot of nice autocomplete and readline emulation options. Maybe it's something you can integrate with your project.

TUI library with Sixel support?
Euporie uses prompt_toolkit as its TUI library. prompt_toolkit does not specifically support terminal graphics, but I've written various of custom components and modifications to enable images to be displayed using terminal graphics.

Why is the terminal input so weird?
That bothered me too, the default function for Ctrl-W in ipython is unix-word-rubout from python-prompt-toolkit [1], which uses spaces for word boundaries. You can rebind it to backward-kill-word so it uses "not a letter nor a digit" as a word boundary.
Here's a gist with my config (also binds shift-left/right arrow to move to previous space instead of visual select): https://gist.github.com/fratajczak/64e32421a43d3b8194d0409ce...

improved repl for lua?
When coding in python I've used ptpython repl based on prompt-toolkit which has been used in numerous CLI programs https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit/blob/master/PROJECTS.rst. I've also used mycli from that page. I've really enjoyed the UX of these. In addition to the syntax highlighting, auto/tab completions, (and maybe other enjoyable features) the vi-mode is amazingly helpful (for us vi folks) (it's probably got emacs bindings too). I would love to have all of this in a repl for lua.

A simple tui to launch gzdoom mods
That's an interesting approach. I was also thinking of using a more sophisticated framework than whiptail, maybe the PromptToolkit. I guess it then would be more similar to the idea of using a text editor. I certainly do think a TUI may be overkill yet it was also a good excuse to practice some bash scripting for me.
