You have at least two options: 1. use a Text widget, that way you get word wrapping for free. You can color different tags differently if you like with text markup. If you need more control over how it's displayed and wrapped write a text layout class: http://excess.org/urwid/wiki/TextLayout 2. Build it with Columns, Pile and use the pack() method on the Text widgets to calculate the size of each tag. This one will be a lot more work, but might be better if you want to let the pile/coulumns handle selection and focus changing (if you need that) Ian _______________________________________________ Urwid mailing list [email protected] http://lists.excess.org/mailman/listinfo/urwid
