pip3 install pytermgui

Notice

A much better, more complete version of PTG's core ideas now exists over at Shade 40. While PTG is not yet fully obsolete, those libraries will be the primary focus of development going forward.

Why?

Mostly because terminals are cool, but creating terminal apps has historically been difficult. PyTermGUI aims to provide a simple, readable and modular way to make the app of your dreams!

Terminal apps are (often):

• Easier to install
• Faster & more resource efficient
• Less prone to differences between environments (no IE7 here!)

...than their web or native counterparts.

How?

We provide a couple of things to make your life easier:

• Sensible abstractions over most terminal standards
• A fully fledged, desktop-inspired window manager system with modals and completely customizable windows
• Mouse support out of the box with 0 configuration
• YAML (or Python) based styling engines
• TIM, our markup language for creating styled terminal text with expressive text, including systems for aliases & macros
• A bunch of things I can't think of right now :slightly_smiling_face:

Additionally, there are a couple of neat tools to make your general Python development easier:

• An inspection utility
• A pretty printer for both the REPL and IPython
• A way to create SVG and HTML screenshots of your terminal
