Then you probably want Alan's approach, and use curses. You can write
MVC style with it, and should aid the shift to PySimplegui later (not to
mention maybe supporting mixed mode, where you can run in terminal mode
if there is no GUI, such as when sshed into a host).

I think Alan even has an introductory document for going this way.
