Mailman 3 [Twisted-Python] Twisted and Urwid - Twisted

27 Dec 2008


      Hi folks.
I've got a new question. After recongnising that the python bindings for
curses are not fully capable of displaying the unicode-chars I decided to
drop curses and shifted to urwid. Now I've got some basic questions in the
matter of urwid and twisted. As you may know I'm using a mvc-pattern and I
have not discovered a way to combine _and_ start urwid with twisted yet.
Maybe someone who already worked with urwid can give me a small hint.
Code:

class Input:
    def __init__(self,term):
        self.term = term
        self.size = self.term.get_cols_rows()
        self.input = urwid.Edit()
        self.filler = urwid.Filler(self.input)
        self.canvas = self.filler.render( self.size, focus=True )
        self.term.draw_screen(self.size,self.canvas)
        reactor.addReader(self)
def fileno(self):
        return 0
def logPrefix(self):
        return 'CursesClient'
def doRead(self):
        keys = self.term.get_input_nonblocking()
        for key in keys:
            if key == 'window resize':
                self.size = self.term.get_cols_rows()
            elif key == 'enter':
                text = self.input.get_edit_text()
                controller.sendMsg('dev',text)
                self.input.set_edit_text('')
            else:
                self.filler.keypress(self.size, key)
term = urwid.raw_display.Screen()
term.run_wrapper(lambda: Input(term))
