pip3 install pytermgui

Why?

Mostly because terminals are cool, but creating terminal apps has historically been difficult. PyTermGUI aims to provide a simple, readable and modular way to make the app of your dreams!

Terminal apps are (often):

• Easier to install
• Faster & more resource efficient
• Less prone to differences between environments (no IE7 here!)

...than their web or native counterparts.

How?

We provide a couple of things to make your life easier:

• Sensible abstractions over most terminal standards
• A fully fledged, desktop-inspired window manager system with modals and completely customizable windows
• Mouse support out of the box with 0 configuration
• YAML (or Python) based styling engines
• TIM, our markup language for creating styled terminal text with expressive text, including systems for aliases & macros
• A bunch of things I can't think of right now :slightly_smiling_face:

Additionally, there are a couple of neat tools to make your general Python development easier:

• An inspection utility
• A pretty printer for both the REPL and IPython
• A way to create SVG and HTML screenshots of your terminal
