A Python Terminal User Interface based on urwid with asynchronous input/output that can be easily expanded to your application.
Requires Python: >=3.6

# TerminalUI

A Python Package that allows for the easily development of Terminal User Interfaces that require asynchronous read/write. Features include:

- TerminalUI class which handles user keypresses, simply pass it your command entered function
- Asynchronous read/write capabilities
- Configurable options panel for configuring your application at runtime
- Options can either be a list of selectable values or an editable value
- Several other features

The package is built upon [urwid](http://urwid.org/). This means, unfortunately, based on how the TerminalUI class is currently implemented it will not work with on Windows. It will however, work with the Windows Linux Subsystem (WSL). Here is a [guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) on how to enable WSL on Windows 10.
