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

Should you add screenshots to documentation?
The Textual project has a lot of screenshots in its documentation. These screenshots are built with the docs, so they are always up to date.

PysimpleGUI
Textual[0] does this for CLI apps. That’s not for full GUI apps, but it’s very DOM-like, uses CSS selectors, etc. and a cool option when it meets your needs.

Ask HN: Why Did Python Win?
I think it just survived naturally, filling in the cracks left by Java / C++.
And not the era of Textual (https://textual.textualize.io/) is here, python may get the spotlight even more.
