Introduction
============
Blessed is an easy, practical *library* for making *terminal* apps, by providing an elegant,
well-documented interface to Colors_, Keyboard_ input, and screen position and Location_
capabilities.
.. code-block:: python
from blessed import Terminal
term = Terminal()
print(term.home + term.clear + term.move_y(term.height // 2))
print(term.black_on_darkkhaki(term.center('press any key to continue.')))
with term.cbreak(), term.hidden_cursor():
inp = term.inkey()
print(term.move_down(2) + 'You pressed ' + term.bold(repr(inp)))

It's meant to be *fun* and *easy*, to do basic terminal graphics and styling with Python using
*blessed*. Terminal_ is the only class you need to import and the only object you should need for
Terminal capabilities.
Whether you want to improve CLI apps with colors, or make fullscreen applications or games,
*blessed* should help get you started quickly. Your users will love it because it works on Windows,
Mac, and Linux, and you will love it because it has plenty of documentation and examples!

Requirements
------------
*Blessed* works with Windows, Mac, Linux, and BSD's, on Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8.
Brief Overview
--------------
*Blessed* is more than just a Python wrapper around curses_:
* Styles_, Colors_, and maybe a little positioning without necessarily clearing the whole screen
first.
* Works great with Python's new f-strings_ or any other kind of string formatting.
* Provides up-to-the-moment Location_ and terminal height and width, so you can respond to terminal
size changes.
* Avoids making a mess if the output gets piped to a non-terminal, you can output sequences to any
file-like object such as *StringIO*, files, pipes or sockets.
* Uses `terminfo(5)`_ so it works with any terminal type and capability: No more C-like calls to
tigetstr_ and tparm_.
* Non-obtrusive calls to only the capabilities database ensures that you are free to mix and match
with calls to any other curses application code or library you like.
* Provides context managers `Terminal.fullscreen()`_ and `Terminal.hidden_cursor()`_ to safely
express terminal modes, curses development will no longer fudge up your shell.
* Act intelligently when somebody redirects your output to a file, omitting all of the special
sequences colors, but still containing all of the text.
*Blessed* is a fork of `blessings <https://github.com/erikrose/blessings>`_, which does all of
the same above with the same API, as well as following **enhancements**:
* Windows support, new since Dec. 2019!
* Dead-simple keyboard handling: safely decoding unicode input in your system's preferred locale and
supports application/arrow keys.
* 24-bit color support, using `Terminal.color_rgb()`_ and `Terminal.on_color_rgb()`_ and all X11
Colors_ by name, and not by number.
* Determine cursor location using `Terminal.get_location()`_, enter key-at-a-time input mode using
`Terminal.cbreak()`_ or `Terminal.raw()`_ context managers, and read timed key presses using
`Terminal.inkey()`_.
* Allows the *printable length* of strings that contain sequences to be determined by
`Terminal.length()`_, supporting additional methods `Terminal.wrap()`_ and `Terminal.center()`_,
terminal-aware variants of the built-in function `textwrap.wrap()`_ and method `str.center()`_,
respectively.
* Allows sequences to be removed from strings that contain them, using `Terminal.strip_seqs()`_ or
sequences and whitespace using `Terminal.strip()`_.
Before And After
----------------
With the built-in curses_ module, this is how you would typically
print some underlined text at the bottom of the screen:
.. code-block:: python
from curses import tigetstr, setupterm, tparm
from fcntl import ioctl
from os import isatty
import struct
import sys
from termios import TIOCGWINSZ
# If we want to tolerate having our output piped to other commands or
# files without crashing, we need to do all this branching:
if hasattr(sys.stdout, 'fileno') and isatty(sys.stdout.fileno()):
setupterm()
sc = tigetstr('sc')
cup = tigetstr('cup')
rc = tigetstr('rc')
underline = tigetstr('smul')
normal = tigetstr('sgr0')
else:
sc = cup = rc = underline = normal = ''
# Save cursor position.
print(sc)
if cup:
# tigetnum('lines') doesn't always update promptly, hence this:
height = struct.unpack('hhhh', ioctl(0, TIOCGWINSZ, '\000' * 8))[0]
# Move cursor to bottom.
print(tparm(cup, height - 1, 0))
print('This is {under}underlined{normal}!'
.format(under=underline, normal=normal))
# Restore cursor position.
print(rc)
The same program with *Blessed* is simply:
.. code-block:: python
from blessed import Terminal
term = Terminal()
with term.location(0, term.height - 1):
print('This is ' + term.underline('underlined') + '!', end='')
