Have you ever tried updating the console with text that changes multiple times a second? Remember how when you tried clearing the console with os.system calls it would make the console flash and make the text unreadable? I wrote this python module to prevent exactly that. Introducing...

ConsoleDraw

A python module to update the console without flashing.

Installation

The consoledraw module can be installed using pip.

pip install consoledraw

If that doesn't work, try this instead.

pip install git+https://github.com/Matthias1590/ConsoleDraw.git

Or, if you want to, you can clone the repo and run the following commands.

python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install

Demo

example.py:

from consoledraw import Console
from datetime import datetime
from time import sleep

console = Console()

format = """
    ╔══════════╗
    ║ {} ║
    ╚══════════╝
"""

while True:
    with console:
        console.print(format.format(datetime.strftime(datetime.now(), "%H:%M:%S")))

    sleep(0.5)

Demo GIF

with console:    
    console.print("Hello, world!")
    console.print("Another message!")

# is the same as

console.clear()

console.print("Hello, world!")
console.print("Another message!")

console.update()
