library to help with curses programming

Project description

library to help with curses programming (Python 3.3+ compatible)

Installation

From the project root directory:

$ python setup.py install

Usage

The easiest method is to just decorate your function, and use the injected scr argument:

from time import sleep
from ezcurses import curse

@curse
def main(scr, message_string):
    w, h = scr.max_size()
    scr.write(message_string, pos=(w // 2, h // 2))
    scr.refresh()
    sleep(1)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main('Hello world!')

You can also use the Cursed context manager. Here’s an example with windows with backgrounds and borders and colors:

from ezcurses import Cursed

with Cursed() as scr:
    w, h = scr.max_size()
    win1 = scr.new_win(orig=(0, 0), size=(20, 20))
    win2 = scr.new_win(orig=(20, 0), size=(20, 20))
    win1.border()
    win2.border()
    win1.background('+', color='red')
    win2.background('.', color=('green', 'blue'))
    win1.refresh()
    win2.refresh()
    s = win1.getstr((1, 1), echo=True)
    win2.write(s, (1, 1), color=('red', 'black'))
    win2.refresh()
    win1.write('Press q to quit', (1, 1), color=('black', 'red'))
    while win1.getkey() != 'q':
        pass
