Thanks for the quick response, guys. Andrew: I looked at python-dialog, and it offers the pager and a few other nice features, but it doesn't have an editbox. The inputbox is fine for grabbing text entries, but I need the ability to edit an existing paragraph or two of text and I didn't see anything like that. And if I have to use something else to get editing, I might as well try to use the same thing for the pager. No sense in mixing toolkits unnecessarily.
Ian: Thanks for the tip about the screen.stop call. I may use that if I have to roll these myself. My dream, ultimately (whether I have to roll it myself or can find it elsewhere) is a single function pager that I can call like this: pager(myLongTextString) and a single function editor that gets called like this: newLongString = editor(oldLongString) I still think having a few dead-simple toy examples like that in urwid would help make it an even more attractive module for people to pick up and start using. And if I end up doing it myself, I'll contribute them back as examples. _______________________________________________ Urwid mailing list [email protected] http://lists.excess.org/mailman/listinfo/urwid
