ANN: Urwid 1.2.0
Announcing Urwid 1.2.0 -- Urwid home page: http://urwid.org/ About this release: === This is a major feature release for Urwid. Urwid now works with PyPy. TwistedEventLoop, GlibEventLoop and the new TornadoEventLoop now work with Python 3.2+. New weakly referenced signal handler argments make signals more useful and help prevent memory leaks. Signals will likely be used more widely across the library in the future. Source control, issue tracking and wikis have moved to github. The urwid home page, examples and all other documentation is now generated completely with sphinx. New in 1.2.0: = * Add support for PyPy, drop support for Python 2.4, 2.5 * Signals now support using weakly referenced arguments to help avoid leaking objects when a signal consumer is no longer referenced (by Matthijs Kooijman) * Add TornadoEventLoop class (by Alexander Glyzov) * Update GlibEventLoop to use python-gi for Python3 compatibility (by Israel Garcia) * Automate testing with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3 and PyPy using travis-ci * New container method get_focus_widgets() (by Matthijs Kooijman) * Add support for double and triple click mouse events (by Igor Kotrasiński) * Allow disabling and re-enabling of mouse tracking (by Jim Garrison) * Create section in docs for example program screenshots generated as images like the tutorial examples * Add suggested basic color combination images to manual * Fall back to 80x24 if screen size detection fails * Fix screen.stop(), screen.start() disabling mouse events * Fix to make GridFlow v_sep argument behave as documented * Fix for registering high palette entries in the form hX where X 15 so that basic colors are applied in 88-color mode * Fix for raw_display clear-right escape not working with standout attribute on some terminals * Fix for Terminal widget select loop: retry when interrupted About Urwid === Urwid is a console UI library for Python. It features fluid interface resizing, Unicode support, multiple text layouts, simple attribute markup, powerful scrolling list boxes and flexible interface design.

About this release:
===
This is a major feature release for Urwid.
The first focus for this release has been on improving the usability of
container widgets by building a common API that works on all containers.
This API allows reading and updating the focus, contents and options across
most containers. Urwid's container widgets have grown organically over
the years and many lack an API for updating their contents at all. These
changes deprecate a number of existing methods and attributes, but continue
to support them. Read about the new API here:
http://excess.org/urwid/docs/manual/widgets.html#container-widgets
The second focus has been improving Urwid's documentation. Urwid's
Tutorial, Manual and Reference have been converted from HTML and wiki pages
to Sphinx reStructured text. The tutorial has been largely rewritten.
It now covers many more aspects of the library including common patterns
and the new container API. The Manual has been heavily edited and most of
the class and function docstrings have been updated to look their best in
the new Reference. The new documentation is available here:
http://excess.org/urwid/docs/
See New in 1.1.0 below for other changes.
Planned changes:
Urwid currently supports Python versions 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3.
That's just too many versions. I plan to drop support for Python 2.4 and
2.5 in the 1.2.x series to clean up some of the Python 3 compatibility code
and start taking advantage of the futuristic language features from the
year 2008.
I will make a greater effort than usual to back port fixes to the 1.1.x
series to support users that choose to continue using old versions of
Python.
New in 1.1.0:
=
* New common container API: focus, focus_position, contents,
options(), get_focus_path(), set_focus_path(), __getitem__,
__iter__(), __reversed__() implemented across all included
container widgets
A full description doesn't fit here, see the Container Widgets
section in the manual for details
* New Sphinx-based documentation now included in source:
Tutorial rewritten, manual revised and new reference based
on updated docstrings (by Marco Giusti, Patrick Totzke)
* New list walker SimpleFocusListWalker like SimpleListWalker but
updates focus position as items are inserted or removed
* New decoration widget WidgetDisable to disable interaction
with the widgets it wraps
* SelectableIcon selectable text widget used by button widgets is
now documented (available since 0.9.9)
* Columns widget now tries to keep column in focus visible, hiding
columns on the left when necessary
* Padding widget now defaults to ('relative', 100) instead of
'pack' so that left and right parameters are more useful and more
child widgets are supported
* New list walker API Version 2 that is simpler for many list
walker uses; API Version 1 will still continue to be supported
* List walkers may now allow iteration from the absolute top or
bottom of the list if they provide a positions() method
* raw_display now erases to the end of the line with EL escape
sequence to improve copy+paste behavior for some terminals
* Filler now has top and bottom parameters like Padding's left and
right parameters and accepts 'pack' instead of None as a height
value for widgets that calculate their own number of rows
* Pile and Columns now accepts 'pack' instead of 'flow' for widgets
that calculate their own number of rows or columns
* Pile and Columns now accept 'given' instead of 'fixed' for
cases where the number of rows or columns are specified by the
container options
* Pile and Columns widgets now accept any iterable to their
__init__() methods
* Widget now has a default focus_position property that raises
an IndexError when read to be consistent with new common container
API
* GridFlow now supports multiple cell widths within the same widget
* BoxWidget, FlowWidget and FixedWidget are deprecated, instead
use the sizing() function or _sizing attribute to specify the
supported sizing modes for your custom widgets
* Some new shift+arrow and numpad input sequences from RXVT and
xterm are now recognized
* Fix for alarms when used with a screen event loop (e.g.
curses_display)
* Fix for raw_display when terminal width is 1 column
* Fixes for a Columns.get_cursor_coords() regression and a
SelectableIcon.get_cursor_coords() bug
* Fixes for incorrect handling of box columns in a number of
Columns methods when that column is selectable
* Fix for Terminal widget input handling with Python 3

There's a new experimental Terminal widget so you can terminal while you terminal or write a screen-clone. There's a new example showing how to serve Urwid interfaces to many users simultaneously over ssh with Twisted. There are new classes to help with creating dynamic tree views of anything you have that's tree-like. There are new widgets for working with pop-ups so you can now have all the menu bars, drop-downs and combo-boxes you can write. The old requirement to sprinkle draw_screen() calls around your callbacks is gone. Urwid now updates the screen automatically after everything else is done. There's a new simple MainLoop method for catching updates from other threads and processes. No need to manually fumble with os.pipe() and event loops. And lots more... Happy 1.0 Urwid! It's been a great nearly-seven years since our first release. Huge thanks to everyone that's contributed code, docs, bug reports and help on the mailing list and IRC. New in this release: * New support for Python 3.2 from the same 2.x code base, requires distribute instead of setuptools (by Kirk McDonald, Wendell, Marien Zwart) everything except TwistedEventLoop and GLibEventLoop is supported * New experimental Terminal widget with xterm emulation and terminal.py example program (by aszlig) * Edit widget now supports a mask (for passwords), has a insert_text_result() method for full-field validation and normalizes input text to Unicode or bytes based on the caption type used * New TreeWidget, TreeNode, ParentNode, TreeWalker and TreeListBox classes for lazy expanding/collapsing tree views factored out of browse.py example program, with new treesample.py example program (by Rob Lanphier) * MainLoop now calls draw_screen() just before going idle, so extra calls to draw_screen() in user code may now be removed * New MainLoop.watch_pipe() method for subprocess or threaded communication with the process/thread updating the UI, and new subproc.py example demonstrating its use * New PopUpLauncher and PopUpTarget widgets and MainLoop option for creating pop-ups and drop-downs, and new pop_up.py example program * New twisted_serve_ssh.py example (by Ali Afshar) that serves multiple displays over ssh from the same application using Twisted and the TwistedEventLoop * ListBox now includes a get_cursor_coords() method, allowing nested ListBox widgets * Columns widget contents may now be marked to always be treated as flow widgets for mixing flow and box widgets more easily * New lcd_display module with support for CF635 USB LCD panel and lcd_cf635.py example program with menus, slider controls and a custom font * Shared command_map instance is now stored as Widget._command_map class attribute and may be overridden in subclasses or individual widgets for more control over special keystrokes * Overlay widget parameters may now be adjusted after creation with set_overlay_parameters() method * New WidgetPlaceholder widget useful for swapping widgets without having to manipulate a container widget's contents * LineBox widgets may now include title text * ProgressBar text content and alignment may now be overridden * Use reactor.stop() in TwistedEventLoop and document that Twisted's reactor is not designed to be stopped then restarted * curses_display now supports AttrSpec and external event loops (Twisted or GLib) just like raw_display * raw_display and curses_display now support the IBMPC character set (currently only used by Terminal widget) * Fix for a gpm_mev bug preventing user input when on the console * Fix for leaks of None objects in str_util extension * Fix for WidgetWrap and AttrMap not working with fixed widgets * Fix for a lock up when attempting to wrap text containing wide characters into a single character column About Urwid === Urwid is a console UI library for Python.

Twisted and GLib-based event loops are now supported directly. A new AttrMap class now allows mapping any attribute to any other attribute. Most of the code base has been cleaned up and now has better documentation and testing. Lots of other improvements are listed below. New in this release: * New support for 256 and 88 color terminals with raw_display and html_fragment display modules * New palette_test example program to demonstrate high color modes * New AttrSpec class for specifying specific colors instead of using attributes defined in the screen's palette * New MainLoop class ties together widgets, user input, screen display and one of a number of new event loops, removing the need for tedious, error-prone boilerplate code * New GLibEventLoop allows running Urwid applications with GLib (makes D-Bus integration easier) * New TwistedEventLoop allows running Urwid with a Twisted reactor * Added new docstrings and doctests to many widget classes * New AttrMap widget supports mapping any attribute to any other attribute, replaces AttrWrap widget * New WidgetDecoration base class for AttrMap, BoxAdapter, Padding, Filler and LineBox widgets creates a common method for accessing and updating their contained widgets * New left and right values may be specified in Padding widgets * New command_map for specifying which keys cause actions such as clicking Button widgets and scrolling ListBox widgets * New tty_signal_keys() method of raw_display.Screen and curses_display.Screen allows changing or disabling the keys used to send signals to the application * Added helpful __repr__ for many widget classes * Updated all example programs to use MainLoop class * Updated tutorial with MainLoop usage and improved examples * Renamed WidgetWrap.w to _w, indicating its intended use as a way to implement a widget with other widgets, not necessarily as a container for other widgets * Replaced all tabs with 4 spaces, code is now more aerodynamic (and PEP 8 compliant) * Added saving of stdin and stdout in raw_display module allowing the originals to be redirected * Updated BigText widget's HalfBlock5x4Font * Fixed graph example CPU usage when animation is stopped * Fixed a memory leak related to objects listening for signals * Fixed a Popen3 deprecation warning About Urwid === Urwid is a console UI library for Python.

Announcing Urwid 0.9.8 -- Urwid home page: http://excess.org/urwid/ Tarball: http://excess.org/urwid/urwid-0.9.8.tar.gz About this release: === This release improves Urwid's performance by 70% to 450% (reducing running time by 41% to 82%)[1] for some benchmarks[2]. New base classes have been introduced for widgets, canvases and list walkers. Some bugs have been fixed. Python 2.2 or later is now required. There were three major changes that contributed to the performance improvement in this release. The Canvas class was rewritten so that canvases can be combined more efficiently. Canvas objects are now cached so that most unchanged widgets will not need to re-render themselves. There is a new C module for some of the heavily used low-level string functions contributed by Rebecca Breu. Urwid's raw_display module may now be used with libraries like Twisted that have their own event loops. Use the new get_input_descriptors() and get_input_nonblocking() methods instead of get_input() when using an external event loop. While I have tried to maintain compatibility with older versions of Urwid, some of the changes in this release may affect existing code. Please report any problems you have to the mailing list or the IRC channel. [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.urwid/415 [2] http://excess.org/urwid/browser/contrib/trunk New in this release: * Rendering is now significantly faster. * New Widget base class for all widgets. It includes automatic caching of rows() and render() methods. It also adds a new __super attribute for accessing methods in superclasses. Widgets must now call self._invalidate() to notify the cache when their content has changed. To disable caching in a widget set the class variable no_cache to a list that includes the string render. * Canvas classes have been reorganized: Canvas has been renamed to TextCanvas and Canvas is now the base class for all canvases. New canvas classes include BlankCanvas, SolidCanvas and CompositeCanvas. * External event loops may now be used with the raw_display module. The new methods get_input_descriptors() and get_input_nonblocking() should be used instead of get_input() to allow input processing without blocking. * The Columns, Pile and ListBox widgets now choose their first selectable child widget as the focus widget by defaut. * New ListWalker base class for list walker classes. * New Signals class that will be used to improve the existing event callbacks. Currently it is used for ListWalker objects to notify their ListBox when their content has changed. * SimpleListWalker now behaves as a list and supports all list operations. This class now detects when changes are made to the list and notifies the ListBox object. New code should use this class to wrap lists of widgets before passing them to the ListBox constructor. * New PollingListWalker class is now the default list walker that is used when passing a simple list to the ListBox constructor. This class is intended for backwards compatibility only. When this class is used the ListBox object is unable to cache its render() method. * The curses_display module can now draw in the lower-right corner of the screen. * All display modules now have start() and stop() methods that may be used instead of calling run_wrapper(). * The raw_display module now uses an alternate buffer so that the original screen can be restored on exit. The old behaviour is available by seting the alternate_buffer parameter of start() or run_wrapper() to False. * Many internal string processing functions have been rewritten in C to improve their performance. * Compatible with Python = 2.2.

About this release:
===
This release improves integration with the Django web framework by
reducing the amount of code required in Django views and by allowing use
of Django forms in Templayer templates. Also, two new HTML Markup tags
were added and it is now possible for flat template files (files with no
layers) to be used.
New in this release:
- Added a django_form convenience function for using Templayer
with the Django web framework's FormWrapper objects.
- Added an allow_degenerate parameter to Template.__init__. If
set to True then a template file that is missing a contents
block will be accepted and not cause an exception to be raised.
- Added a special layer name '*' that treats the entire contents
of a template file as a layer.
- Added two new HTML Markup elements:
- ('pluralize',count,singular_markup,plural_markup) inserts
singular_markup if count equals one, and plural_markup
otherwise.
- ('',entity) inserts the given HTML entity where valid
entity values include gt, #161 and #xA9.
- FileLayer.close now returns the file object to which it wrote.
This simplifies the code required to use Templayer in Django
view functions.
- Fixed a really obvious bug in the html_href function.
About Templayer
===
Templayer was created to offer an alternative to the more common ways of
generating dynamic HTML: embedding code within the HTML or embedding
HTML within code. Instead of mixing HTML and Python, two rich and
extremely expressive languages, Templayer adds a small amount of syntax
to each and keeps the two separate and coherent.
Templayer is released under the GNU LGPL.

About this release:
===
This release improves integration with the Django web framework by
reducing the amount of code required in Django views and by allowing use
of Django forms in Templayer templates. Also, two new HTML Markup tags
were added and it is now possible for flat template files (files with no
layers) to be used.

Tarball:
http://excess.org/templayer/templayer-1.3.tar.gz
About this release:
===
This release includes new documentation and a new auto-reload feature
useful for mod_python and web frameworks. Also, the internal template
representation was changed to improve performance and consistency, and
the HTML generated with HTML Markup is now more standards-compliant.
New in this release:
- Added reference documentation and a new tutorial.
- Added an auto_reload parameter to Template.__init__ to make the
Template.start_file function check and reload a template if it has
been modified. This is useful for mod_python and web frameworks
with long-lived processes.
- Changed the internal representation of the templates to improve
performance for large templates and to solve an issue with
slots being filled with text that appears to contain another
slot that is being filled at the same time.
The new implementation no longer allows % and { characers in
slot and layer names.
- The Template.missing_slot function is now passed a list of
missing slots for a layer. This should improve performance when
ignoring a large number of missing slots.
- The HTML markup has been adjusted to make its use of br and p
tags more standards-compliant.
- HtmlTemplate has been renamed to HTMLTemplate and MarkupException
has been renamed to MarkupError. The old names are still
provided for backwards compatibility.

Announcing Urwid 0.9.5 -- Urwid home page: http://excess.org/urwid/ Tarball: http://excess.org/urwid/urwid-0.9.5.tar.gz About this release: === This release adds support for the alternate character set with DEC special and line drawing characters. Urwid will now display these characters properly in almost all terminals and encodings. This change also opens the door to future support for ISO-2022 encodings with switching character sets. A new example program was added to demonstrate Urwid's graphics widgets, two new widget types were introduced, existing widgets were improved and bugs were fixed. New in this release: - Some Unicode characters are now converted to use the G1 alternate character set with DEC special and line drawing characters. These Unicode characters should now just work in almost all terminals and encodings. When Urwid is run with the UTF-8 encoding the characters are left as UTF-8 and not converted. The characters converted are: \u00A3 (£), \u00B0 (°), \u00B1 (±), \u00B7 (·), \u03C0 (π), \u2260 (≠), \u2264 (≤), \u2265 (≥), \u23ba (⎺), \u23bb (⎻), \u23bc (⎼), \u23bd (⎽), \u2500 (─), \u2502 (│), \u250c (┌), \u2510 (┐), \u2514 (└), \u2518 (┘), \u251c (├), \u2524 (┤), \u252c (┬), \u2534 (┴), \u253c (┼), \u2592 (▒), \u25c6 (◆) - New SolidFill class for filling an area with a single character. - New LineBox class for wrapping widgets in a box made of line- drawing characters. May be used as a box widget or a flow widget. - New example program graph.py demonstrates use of BarGraph, LineBox, ProgressBar and SolidFill. - Pile class may now be used as a box widget and contain a mix of box and flow widgets. - Columns class may now contain a mix of box and flow widgets. The box widgets will take their height from the maximum height of the flow widgets. - Improved the smoothness of resizing with raw_display module. The module will now try to stop updating the screen when a resize event occurs during the update. - The Edit and IntEdit classes now use their set_edit_text(..) and set_edit_pos(..) functions when handling keypresses, so those functions may be overridden to catch text modification. - The set_state(..) functions in the CheckBox and RadioButton classes now have a do_callback parameter that determines if the callback function registered will be called. - Fixed a newly introduced incompatibility with python 2.3. - Fixed a missing symbol in curses_display when python is linked against libcurses. - Fixed mouse handling bugs in the Frame and Overlay classes. - Fixed a Padding bug when the left or right has no padding.

If you are interested in Urwid's mouse support please try the input test example program and let me know if it works properly in your environment. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/urwid-0.9.3$ ./input_test.py will test the input of the curses_display module. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/urwid-0.9.3$ ./input_test.py raw will test the input of the raw_display module. Please post your results and details about your environment to the mailing list. New in this release: - Improved mouse reporting. The raw_display module now detects gpm mouse events by reading /usr/bin/mev output. The curses_display module already supports gpm directly. Mouse drag events are now reported by raw_display in terminals that provide button event tracking and on the console with gpm. Note that gpm may report coordinates off the screen if the user drags the mouse off the edge. Button release events now report which button was released if that information is available, currently only on the console with gpm. - Added display of raw keycodes to the input_test.py example program. - Fixed a text layout bug affecting clipped text with blank lines, and another related to wrapped text starting with a space character. - Fixed a Frame.keypress(..) bug that caused it to call keypress on unselectable widgets.

Re: Replacing curses
Ross Ridge wrote: In general it's impossible to know how many display positions some random Unicode character might use. For example, Chinese characters normally take two display positions, but the terminal your using might not support them and display a single width replacement character. Hopefully, you're limitted in the character set you actually need to support and the terminals that your applicaiton will be using. I'm not so lucky -- I'm writing a console UI library (Urwid) that anyone could use, and I'm trying to support as many encodings and terminals as possible. I hope that the different terminal behaviors can be enumerated so that the console interface will degrade gracefully with less capable terminals. The mined_2000 unicode text editor is a program that does this by detecting the terminal's behavior on startup. I'll probably take a similar approach.

Re: Replacing curses
Thomas Dickey wrote: hmm - I've read Urwid, and most of the comments I've read in that regard reflect problems in Urwid. Perhaps it's time for you to do a little analysis. (looking forward to bug reports, rather than line noise) A fair request. My appologies for the inflammatory subject :-) When trying to check for user input without waiting I use code like: window_object.nodelay(1) curses.cbreak() input = window_object.getch() Occasionally (hard to reproduce reliably) the cbreak() call will raise an exception, but if I call it a second time before calling getch the code will work properly. This problem might be related to a signal interrupting the function call, I'm not sure. Also, screen resizing only seems to be reported once by getch() even if the user continues to resize the window. I have worked around this by calling curses.doupdate() between calls to getch(). Maybe this is by design? Finally, the curses escape sequence detection could be broadened. The top part of the curses_display module in Urwid defines many escape sequences I've run into that curses doesn't detect. Ian Ward -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I haven't followed this thread closely, so I'm not sure if it covers all your requirements, but it can do all of the above. Thanks for the pointer! twisted.conch.insult definitely has some of what I need. The code for handling window resizing isn't jumping out at me but I'll keep looking.

I'll have to deal with that anyway, since I'm doing all my own wrapping, justification and clipping of text. (don't talk to me about RtoL text, I'm getting to it) I'm going to look at the Mined text editor for some terminal behavior detection code. Mined is able to produce good UTF-8 output on a variety of terminals, and it links agains ncurses, not ncursesw... Interesting. Ian Ward -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Problem with curses and UTF-8
When I run the following code in a terminal with the encoding set to
UTF-8 I get garbage on the first line, but the correct output on the second.
import curses
s = curses.initscr()
s.addstr('\xc3\x85 U+00C5 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE\n')
s.addstr('\xc3\xa5 U+00F5 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH TILDE')
s.refresh()
s.getstr()
curses.endwin()
I tested with gnome-terminal, Python 2.4 and Ubuntu breezy. The output
is correct when I run the following code:
print '\xc3\x85 U+00C5 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE'
print '\xc3\xa5 U+00F5 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH TILDE'
Any Ideas?

The ncurses documentation suggests that you should link with ncurses_w instead of linking with ncurses - you might try that as well. If it helps, please do report back. Ultimately, somebody will need to debug ncurses to find out what precisely happens, and why. Thank you for your response. I see there are other people that have run into the same problem. I've had to work around many curses issues while developing Urwid (a console UI library). Even if the bugs are fixed I'm going to have to bypass the curses module to support UTF-8 in a reliable way for all users. I think there are enough escape sequences common to all modern terminals so that I can build a generic curses-replacement for my library. However, if someone is already working on something similar I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Ian Ward -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Announcing Urwid 0.8.6 -- Urwid home page: http://excess.org/urwid/ Tarball: http://excess.org/urwid/urwid-0.8.6.tar.gz Current Urwid users PLEASE NOTE: This version of Urwid changes the default foreground and background for areas of the screen with no attributes. You may need to AttrWrap(..) some of your widgets for your program to look the same. New in this release: - Improved support for CJK double-byte encodings: BIG5, UHC, GBK, GB2312, CN-GB, EUC-KR, EUC-CN, EUC-JP (JISX 0208 only) and EUC-TW (CNS 11643 plain 1 only) - Added support for ncurses' use_default_colors() function to curses_display module (Python = 2.4). register_palette(..) and register_palette_entry(..) now accept default as foreground and/or background. If the terminal's default attributes cannot be detected black on light gray will be used to accommodate terminals with always-black cursors. default is now the default for text with no attributes. This means that areas with no attributes will change from light gray on black (curses default) to black on light gray or the terminal's default. - Modified examples to not use black as background of Edit widgets. - Fixed curses_display curs_set call so that cursor is hidden when widget in focus has no cursor position.
