Nice UI???? This is so 70's :=)
import curses, os
screen = curses.initscr()
height, width = screen.getmaxyx()
print height, width
# popen is deprecated: better switch to subprocess.Popen
ls = os.popen("ls -l")
while True:
screen.clear()
screen.addstr(0, 0, "DIRECTORY LISTING")
# display as many lines as will fit on the screen
for i in range(1, height-1):
line = ls.readline()
if not line: break
screen.addstr(i, 0, line.rstrip())
if line: # we have more to expect
screen.addstr(height-1, 0, "PLEASE HIT RETURN FOR NEXT SCREEN OR q TO
STOP")
screen.refresh()
key = screen.getkey()
if key.lower() == 'q':
break
else: # end of listing reached
screen.addstr(height-1, 0, "** END OF LISTING ** HIT RETURN")
screen.refresh()
screen.getkey()
break
curses.endwin()
