looking for a python-based TUI (text-based user interface)
by pisti from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5N7QM)
i need for a routine application some form of a TUI (text-based user interface) which will then be used by other users as well. the interface does not need to be crazy sophisticated though a dozen or so elements for text display and text input will be necessary. years ago i remember having seen in stores those kind of DOS based terminals for database access or cash registers with simple colored interfaces : something similar i envision for this project.
our underlying software and API is written in python so it would convenient if the TUI software uses the same language. furthermore the TUI should be compatible with TMUX windows and panes. and it should be well supported as it will be used in a long-term project.
in the GUI world i would imagine using something like tkinter but in terms of TUIs i found dialogue-based and ncurses-based software, and then also new independent languages such as picotui. what options are there out for us ? what are the pros and cons for the various options ?
