I'm wondering if the python libary urwid includes an input option that behaves like a GUI text field.
By this I mean that,
Here is a simple example of Swing's JTextField:
The input text equivalent in urwid is the Edit widget, here is an example of how you can use it:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from __future__ import print_function, absolute_import, division
import urwid
def show_or_exit(key):
if key in ('q', 'Q', 'esc'):
raise urwid.ExitMainLoop()
def name_changed(w, x):
header.set_text('Hello % s!' % x)
if __name__ == '__main__':
name_edit = urwid.Edit("Name: ")
header = urwid.Text('Fill your details')
widget = urwid.Pile([
urwid.Padding(header, 'center', width=('relative', 6)),
name_edit,
urwid.Edit('Address: '),
])
urwid.connect_signal(name_edit, 'change', name_changed)
widget = urwid.Filler(widget, 'top')
loop = urwid.MainLoop(widget, unhandled_input=show_or_exit)
loop.run()
If you try it out, you can see that both fields remain editable and can be filled in any order.
