You could write your own little console interface, tailored to
your needs, which is implemented using curses on Unix, and the
effbot's 'console' on Windows.
Indeed, that's basically what I have done. Just can't help thinking
how much simpler (and so less error prone) it would have been had
For me, introducing similar commands in Python would be by far the biggest
single improvement that could be made to the language.
If it should be done, it should be done as a compatible subset of
curses, IMHO. It has such a long history as the standard GUI toolkit
But curses doesn't run

True. But then: are there other multi-platform console libraries out
there? I want to code to a single API.

be hard are welcome to do so.
The classic answer.
Yes, because of the classic problem with unsalaried

I need to develop a cross-platform text-mode application. I would like
to do it in Python and I would like to use a mature text-mode library
for the UI stuff.

Is there a workaround?
