My TUI library, PyTermGUI now features an intelligent layout system
This was by far the most common missing feature of the library since my first post, so I'm really happy I managed to figure it out. See the release for some code examples and a detailed changelog, and most importantly, have a great day!

In plain words
PyTermGUI is a Python terminal user interface library that now includes an intelligent layout system. Designed for developers building text-based applications, it provides tools for creating structured terminal interfaces. The layout system addresses a frequently requested feature, enabling more flexible and responsive UI designs. The library includes code examples and detailed documentation for implementation.

Python TUI framework with mouse support, modular widget system, customizable and rapid terminal markup language and more! - Release v6.0.0: Layouts, inspection & highlighting! · bczsalba/pytermgui
This version was originally meant to focus on the new layout system, but things got out of hand quickly. In the end, we have the aforementioned feature, alongside a completely reimagined & much more useful CLI, a regex-based syntax highlighting base, major performance improvements and some general QOL things. There unfortunately are some (relatively minor) API changes, which is why this version is 6.0.0 instead of 5.1.0. Remove Window.allow_fullscreen , Window.toggle_fullscreen ( 114da3a ) These methods are no longer really relevant in the new layout-based system. They were also handled in a really odd way from the library's side, so it should be one less bug-prone area to figure out. You…from github.com

A modular Python TUI framework with a fast and pretty markup language2022 · github.com · ▲114PyTermGUI is a highly modular framework offering most of the features one would expect from a GUI library, such as a mature and open Widget API, animations, mouse support and other goodies, right inside the terminal! The markup language is another great feature of the library, and is used by practically all elements of it. It is based on Rich's implementation, but uses a more concise and easier to humanly parse syntax, while being over 10 times faster at parsing due to a long list of optimizations. There is a full Window Manager API included as well, allowing the user to move, resize and…

A Spatial Environment for Python2022 · python.natto.dev · ▲169Hi all! A little background: I've been working on natto.dev, a spatial environment for JavaScript. I'm really excited about new interfaces for code (leveraging metaphors we're good at, spatial reasoning, making state visible, design tools, etc). With all the buzz around PyScript, I discovered Pyodide and got it working inside natto. This Python version is a stripped down version of https://natto.dev (eg interactive outputs, multiplayer) so please check that out if this interests you. I'm excited to share this spatial environment for Python. Imagine Jupyter cells arranged on a 2D…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
