I am a little unsure of your suggestion here. At the moment my code looks like:
self.task_listbox = urwid.ListBox(urwid.SimpleListWalker(
[urwid.AttrWrap(urwid.Text(item), 'default', 'focus') for item in item_list]
))
Where 'default' and 'focus' are the two palette attributes and item_list is
a list of text information.
Are you suggesting I run AttrMap on the old selection and the new selection
each time the selection changes? If so, what would be the cleanest way to do
this, something like:
urwid.AttrMap(self.task_listbox.contents[0][item_no], ?????)
