cursed 0.1.9

Simplified curses

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

Allows easy creation of windows and menus. Code for each window runs concurrently.

Please see full documentation available here: http://pythonhosted.org/cursed/

cursed was tested with Python 3.4 and 2.7, and depends on the Python package six for compatibility.

Installation

With pip, for the latest stable:

$ pip install cursed

Or from the project root directory:

$ python setup.py install

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()
