Python Curses Tutorial #4 - User Input and Textboxes

[@davidfelcan1187]

I was looking for a way to make curses not wait on input, you answered this great. Much Appreciated!

[@PulpFreePress]

Nice video Tim! Especially the part about avoiding key entry delay.

[@деньдобрый-х2ъ]

Thanks, Tim! Your tutorials are very helpful

[@havenisse2009]

Thanks! It would be interesting to make a pinyin input using a pinyin-character lookup SQLite table, so that typing wo3, or wô would get you a selection of characters maching that pinyin. Select the right one, and it would be added to the finaly input.

I curse the day I ever did character based UI programming !

hello, nice video but I have a question. On the textbox if I want to have more text but the textbox ends is there a way to make additional space (like scroll and have more space to write). If you dont understand I am asking how to make a text editor with the curses module.

[@casperdewith]

18:08 No! This is a bad solution. You must fix this at the textbox level; not at the output level. Suppose you put in an intentional newline? Then it is gone.

[@netsprogramstudio]

good explanation and tutorial ...

[@ebiscaia]

Hi, Tim. You may know how to do this. I would like to cycle around multiple textboxes and when I press a key, I would go to the next step of the program. I can cycle around them, but then I have no way to stop it. Thanks

[@anirudhunleashes8497]

Hello sir.. Thanks for helping me a lot of times.

[@christopherhorn5274]

bash also uses emacs-like key commands unless you set it up otherwise.

[@parker7721]

Hi Tim. Is there any way I can display instead of the text input from the user, the * character (something like a password type).

[@YotamBarakJAB271104]

Thank you!

[@lvlv693]

ah yes, **python curses**

[@mr_mini_master9541]

Probably monks?

[@martinjanezic8504]

Really cool video. I only had problems while trying to get the textbox library. Tried many things like manual instalation and if I try to fix that problem a new one arrives or doesn't sole the issue. If anyone had the same problem, tell me if and how you fixed it! Thank you

[@malickngandu3971]

Hi Tim my code is keep showing this Errer ''UnboundLocalError: local variable 'X' referenced before assignment '' but I did every like yours

[@innstikk]

Nice videos. My problem is that unicode input doesn't work (only pure ascii). How can one do this?

[@philtoa334]

Nice.

[@AnikulapoOlawale]

Thank you for your amazing videos, I don't know if you notice it, the spelling of courses is wrong, or is it intentional? If it is, my apologies.

[@CubeRiser]

He is teaching a python module named curses, so it isn't wrong, it isn't meant to be courses.

[@AnikulapoOlawale]

@@CubeRiser Okay, I am sorry for the misconception, thank you for the response.

[@sayori3939]

@@AnikulapoOlawale tsk tsk tsk

[@Aeternus007]

hey tim, could you do a renpy tutorial? i would really appreciate it!!

[@MathidiotPlays]

Instructions unclear. I tamed a python to aggressively swear all the time.

[@sayori3939]

I think i leaked from laughing 😂😅😅

[@watwillwedonext]

i like the curse

[@saisavit2926]

Hi, I'm getting an error that I'm not able to fix... can someone help? ERROR :-- stdscr.addstr(y, x, "0") _curses.error: addwstr() returned ERR

[@CubeRiser]

you went too far up or down or any direction, this is told in the video as well that when you do this you get an error

[@Staninna]

it is because it is addstr() not addwstr()

[@AbhishekYadav-ni5ts]

Bhai please make tutorial on tkinter please..

[@ysgurjar]

My friend, you have saved me what I could not solve from last 10 hrs. God bless you. I was hung up on stdscr.nodelay(True)

[@otiopo7459]

cool

[@valdavid1829]

ctrl + g(etoutta’ere)

[@johnniegilkerson4724]

How do you get the cursive f in stdscr.addstr(5, 5 f"Key: {key}")?

[@TheLordoftheDarkness]

His text editor does that. I think he's using sublime text (not sure).

[@natyacodes]

tim will pin this

[@energy-tunes]

this module is unexpectedly "low" level for python. i feel like im coding in an actual programming language when i use it.

[@chersymale]

python IS an actual programming language lol

[@abcedariumu8033]

Bitch what, this is so abstracted it hurts. What are you on?
