A purely Python library which implements high-level widgets using blessed.
This library takes focus on being easy to use and fast to deploy. It's purpose is to give relatively simple applications a visual interface.
It has all the capabilities as blessed, but with the rigorous work of creating and managing widgets abstracted away. For the full documentation visit the Repository Wiki.
Application for pitch training in:
- Sound Quality Recognition
- Single Sound Recognition
- Chord Progression Recognition.
Based around Justin Guitar's Course.
, and other examples can be found in the
./examples/ folder.
Maybe your CLI application could improve with some visuals? It could make it easier for others to use by labeling input fields, or showing the available options with a dropdown menu.
Maybe building an entire GUI for your simple subtitle arranger application is not worth the hastle, but you still want the functionality of buttons and entry fields.
I was inspired to make this library because I wanted to make an application for sound-recognition for hearing/pitch training. A CLI wouldn't make it clear at which stage/discipline I was, nor in which way would I have to input the fields. Meanwhile to have a good looking GUI application is too much hastle for such a simple purpose. A TUI seemed like the perfect middle.
- If the application has a high ammount of widgets then resolution and navigation becomes a problem, and a GUI would be preferred.
- If the application needs to be used frequently with a large ammount of input from the user and has little to no graphical elements a CLI would be preferred.
