Installation

The consoledraw module can be installed using pip.

pip install consoledraw

If that doesn't work, try this instead.

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)

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()
