About

Urwid is a console user interface library for Python on Linux, OSX, Cygwin or other unix-like OS and partially supports Windows OS (see below).

It includes many features useful for text console application developers including:

  • Applications resize quickly and smoothly

  • Automatic, programmable text alignment and wrapping

  • Simple markup for setting text attributes within blocks of text

  • Powerful list box with programmable content for scrolling all widget types

  • Your choice of event loops: Twisted, Glib, Tornado, asyncio, trio, ZeroMQ or select-based loop

  • Pre-built widgets include edit boxes, buttons, check boxes and radio buttons

  • Display modules include raw, curses, and experimental LCD and web displays

  • Support for UTF-8, simple 8-bit and CJK encodings

  • 24-bit (true color), 256 color, and 88 color mode support

  • Compatible with Python 3.7+ and PyPy

Installation

To install using pip

pip install urwid

For advanced functionality extra requirements need to be installed. Example for ZeroMQ event loop and LCD display:

pip install urwid[serial,zmq]

Alternatively if you are on Debian or Ubuntu

apt-get install python3-urwid

Windows support notes

  • Not supported:

  1. Terminal widget and all related render API (TermCanvas, TermCharset, TermModes, TermScroller)

  2. Any file descriptors except sockets (Windows OS limitation)

  3. ZMQEventLoop.

  • Special requirements:

pip install urwid[curses]

  • CursesDisplay incorrectly handles mouse input in case of fast actions.

  • Only UTF-8 mode is supported.
