Hello,
Your problem is here:

You are putting a flow widget (Text) inside an Overlay. The overlay is
expecting a fixed widget because your width and height are set to None.
What you are trying to do will probably work in a future release of
Urwid, I just haven't gotten around to implementing the ability for Text
to behave like a fixed widget yet. I guess I should get to work on
that! :-)
You need to:
1. set a value for width and height in your Overlay, so that it expects
a box widget
2. wrap your Text widget in a Filler widget, which is a box widget.
This means that it won't intelligently resize based on your text for
now, but that's the best option I can see at the moment.
