cuia π§
A delightful tiny framework for building reliable text-based applications.
cuia is a tiny Python library for building interactive terminal user interfaces that are easy to use, fast and have a small memory footprint.
cuia is inspired by Bubble Tea (written in Go) and, in particular, employs the Elm architecture (TEA, named after the Elm programming language). This means that cuia applications are as dynamic and easy to write (and use) as they could be.
- 𧡠Simple: your user interface is a string of characters
- π¬ Interaction-focused
- β»οΈ Easily integrate with other libraries
- πΉοΈ Use the same escape code sequences as you would with Colorama
- π₯οΈ Support for Unix variants out of the box: curses under the hood by default (and probably works on Windows and DOS if a compatible curses library is available)
- π€¬ Only one dependency: cusser (for wrapping the curses library)
- π Python 3.8+
