curses

What's the difference between these 3? As far as I understand it they both provide binding to curses which is the C library for terminal text-based UI. I currently have no knowledge of any of the 3 and I've never used curses. Which one would you recommend? I've heard of ncurses many times but only once or twice about CDK (through research) and never heard of urwid (I think). What I get after looking at some references is: ncurses : It's a free software version of curses, so you have to deal with all kind low-level details. pyCDK : It's a higher level library that provides some widgets. I haven

Hello im using curses to develop a small console application. I have a main loop section wich waits for user input, it uses the getstr function, of course this waits for the user to press enter. I would like to capture the up and down and tab keypresses. I suppose this can't be done with getstr. Anyone have any idea how to do this? EDIT: i've tried using STDIN.getc wich blocks the application from running, and getch doesnt catch the arrow keys EDIT #2 : im trying this code on windows. It seems that Curses.getch works for linux, but on windows i get no key sent for the up arrow. You need to set

I use something like this: screen.addstr(text, color_pair(1) | A_BOLD), but it doesn't seem to work.. However, A_REVERSE and all others attribute does work! In fact, I'm trying to print something in white, but the COLOR_WHITE prints it gray.. and after a while of searching, it seems that printing it gray + BOLD makes it! Any helps would be greatly appreciated. Here's an example code (Python 2.6, Linux): #!/usr/bin/env python from itertools import cycle import curses, contextlib, time @contextlib.contextmanager def curses_screen(): """Contextmanager's version of curses.wrapper().""" try: stdscr

Over the past week I've been working on a roguelike game in C++ along with a friend. Mostly too learn the language. I'm using: pdcurses Windows 7 Visual studio C++ To output wchar_t 's wherever I want to in the console. I have succeeded in otuputting some unicode characters such as \u263B (☻), but others such as \u2638 (☸) will just end up as question marks(?). Here's the relevant code I use for output. // Container of room information struct RoomInfo { wchar_t * layout; int width; int height; }; // The following function builds RoomInfo RoomInfo Room::examine(IActor * examinor) { RoomInfo ri;

This question already has an answer here: How to avoid pressing enter with getchar() 10 answers I'm writing a C program that prints something on terminal using ncurses. It should stop printing when user press 's' and continue again when press 's'. How can I read a key from input without waiting user to press the key? I tried getch() and getchar() but they wait until a key is pressed... Edit This is my code: int main(void) { initscr(); /* Start curses mode */ refresh(); /* Print it on to the real screen */ int i = 0, j = 0; int state = 0; while (1) { cbreak(); int c = getch(); /* Wait for user

I'm facing a weird problem. Using Pycharm (please do not troll about this fact), I'm trying to launch a short app that uses ncurses to render some things on my term. While I can launch the project in a simple term without any problem, launching it from Pycharm raise the following error : File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/curses/__init__.py", line 33, in initscr fd=_sys.__stdout__.fileno()) error: setupterm: could not find terminal Process finished with exit code 0 As far as I can see, all is about terminal environment variables. Pycharm launch the
