I disagree. It's a very large group of programs. For example, CPython's input() function puts the terminal in character mode to support emacs-style editing keys on Linux. And of course, CPython's REPL reader does it as well. CPython does that via GNU readline: <URL: https://docs.python.org/3/library/readline.html> > It is both easier and more functional to use a real GUI library. Well, CPython doesn't do that...
