Installation

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:

  1. Extra libraries required for curses display support:

pip install urwid[curses]
  • CursesDisplay incorrectly handles mouse input in case of fast actions.

  • Only UTF-8 mode is supported.
