search-demo 0.1

Extremely simple curses search result demo

Search Demo

Extremely simple python-curses search demo that runs a function on every character input and shows / returns the results.

Install using pip! pip install search-demo

How to use

This assumes that you have a function that outputs an iterable (list, tuple, etc.) and takes in a string.

from search_demo import SearchDemo

def function(inp):
    return inp.split()

s = SearchDemo(function)
print(s.run_demo())

Produces something like this

Why

I made this for a part of my masters project that required demoing a full text search using RediSearch and thought that a small curses library would be the best way to show it off without too much complexity building a whole UI.

Note

Please do not use this in real code, I just thought it was useful enough to share with anyone else who needs a quick demo.
