Thanks for your help! One major drawback of lfm/curses is
the speed: it is pretty slow, when there are a lot of files
in a directory. urwid seems to be much faster, at least the
browser example looks like that... so it would be a nice
project for the urwid package, but my time and knowledge is
limited :-(

browse.py doesn't do any stat()'ing of the files in the directory, which might account for the speed difference. Urwid does let you do that lazily (as files appear on screen instead of all at once), so it will seem faster with lots of files.

Post any Urwid-specific issues you have to the list and I'll try to help.
