pyterappeng 0.1.0

An ultra-lightweight and simple Python engine designed for building text-based terminal applications with dynamic line buffering and rendering support.

pyterappeng (Python Terminal Application Engine)

pyterappeng is an ultra-lightweight engine for creating text and terminal applications in Python. It allows you to initialize text buffers and update the screen content.

Features

• Simple start
• Dynamic buffer
• Built-in update cycle

Installation

Copy the pyterappeng.py file into the root directory of your project.

Usage

The engine works on a buffering principle: you initialize lines, fill them with content, and render them.

import pyterappeng

pyterappeng.create_lines(2)

pyterappeng.lines[0] = "Hello, Terminal!"
pyterappeng.lines[1] = "This is line number two."

pyterappeng.update()

API Documentation

create_lines(lines_count: int)

Creates an internal buffer for storing the lines of your application. lines_count is the total number of lines to display.

lines: list

A global list of application lines. Modify the elements directly using indexes from 0 to lines_count - 1.

update()

Prints all lines from the lines list to the console.

Roadmap

• Add automatic console clearing before each update call
• Implement keypress handling for user input
• Add support for text coloring via ANSI codes
