webcurses

A drop-in replacement for the Python curses library that renders to a web browser.

For the original library documentation, see curses — Terminal handling for character-cell displays.

Usage

import webcurses
from webcurses import wrapper

def main(stdscr):
    stdscr.clear()
    stdscr.addstr(0, 0, "Hello, Webcurses!")
    stdscr.refresh()
    stdscr.getch()

wrapper(main)

Running

By default, webcurses starts a web server on port 8080.

Run your script:
```
python your_script.py
```
Open your browser to http://localhost:8080.

Configuration

To change the port, set the WEBCURSES_PORT environment variable:

export WEBCURSES_PORT=9090
python your_script.py

Then navigate to http://localhost:9090.
