Simplified curses

Simplified curses interface with concurrency, for quick and sane curses apps.

Usage

Example:

from cursed import CursedApp, CursedWindow

app = CursedApp()

class MainWindow(CursedWindow):
    WIDTH=80
    BORDERED = True

    @classmethod
    def update(cls):
        ''' update runs every tick '''
        # Hello world printed at x,y of 0,0
        cls.addstr('Hello, world!', 0, 0)
        if cls.getch() == 27:
            # Escape was pressed. Quit.
            cls.trigger('quit')

result = app.run()
if result.interrupted():
    # check if ctrl-C was pressed
    print('Quit!')
else:
    # Raises an exception if any thread ran into a different exception.
    result.unwrap()
