That was long and full of incomprehensible trash! Let's try it again, + this time with Blessings:: + + from blessings import Terminal + + term = Terminal() + with term.location(0, term.height - 1): + print 'This is', term.underline('pretty!') + + Much better. + + What It Provides + ================ + + Blessings provides just one top-level object: ``Terminal``. Instantiating a + ``Terminal`` figures out whether you're on a terminal at all and, if so, does + any necessary terminal setup. After that, you can proceed to ask it all sorts + of things about the terminal. Terminal terminal terminal. + + Simple Formatting + ----------------- + + Lots of handy formatting codes ("capabilities" in low-level parlance) are + available as attributes on a ``Terminal``. For example:: + + from blessings import Terminal + + term = Terminal() + print 'I am ' + term.bold + 'bold' + term.normal + '!' + + You can also use them as wrappers so you don't have to say ``normal`` + afterward:: + + print 'I am', term.bold('bold') + '!' + + Or, if you want fine-grained control while maintaining some semblance of + brevity, you can combine it with Python's string formatting, which makes + attributes easy to access:: + + print 'All your {t.red}base {t.underline}are belong to us{t.normal}'.format(t=term) + + Simple capabilities of interest include... + + * ``bold`` + * ``reverse`` + * ``underline`` + * ``no_underline`` (which turns off underlining) + * ``blink`` + * ``normal`` (which turns off everything, even colors) + * ``clear_eol`` (clear to the end of the line) + * ``clear_bol`` (clear to beginning of line) + * ``clear_eos`` (clear to end of screen) + + Here are a few more which are less likely to work on all terminals: + + * ``dim`` + * ``italic`` and ``no_italic`` + * ``shadow`` and ``no_shadow`` + * ``standout`` and ``no_standout`` + * ``subscript`` and ``no_subscript`` + * ``superscript`` and ``no_superscript`` + * ``flash`` (which flashes the screen once) + + Note that, while the inverse of ``underline`` is ``no_underline``, the only way + to turn off ``bold`` or ``reverse`` is ``normal``, which also cancels any + custom colors. This is because there's no way to tell the terminal to undo + certain pieces of formatting, even at the lowest level. + + You might notice that the above aren't the typical incomprehensible terminfo + capability names; we alias a few of the harder-to-remember ones for + readability. However, you aren't limited to these: you can reference any + string-returning capability listed on the `terminfo man page`_ by the name + under the "Cap-name" column: for example, ``term.rum``. + + .. _`terminfo man page`: http://www.manpagez.com/man/5/terminfo/ + + Color + ----- + + 16 colors, both foreground and background, are available as easy-to-remember + attributes:: + + from blessings import Terminal + + term = Terminal() + print term.red + term.on_green + 'Red on green? Ick!' + term.normal + print term.bright_red + term.on_bright_blue + 'This is even worse!' + term.normal + + You can also call them as wrappers, which sets everything back to normal at the + end:: + + print term.red_on_green('Red on green? Ick!') + print term.yellow('I can barely see it.') + + The available colors are... + + * ``black`` + * ``red`` + * ``green`` + * ``yellow`` + * ``blue`` + * ``magenta`` + * ``cyan`` + * ``white`` + + You can set the background color instead of the foreground by prepending + ``on_``, as in ``on_blue``. There is also a ``bright`` version of each color: + for example, ``on_bright_blue``. + + There is also a numerical interface to colors, which takes an integer from + 0-15:: + + term.color(5) + 'Hello' + term.normal + term.on_color(3) + 'Hello' + term.normal + + term.color(5)('Hello') + term.on_color(3)('Hello') + + If some color is unsupported (for instance, if only the normal colors are + available, not the bright ones), trying to use it will, on most terminals, have + no effect: the foreground and background colors will stay as they were. You can + get fancy and do different things depending on the supported colors by checking + `number_of_colors`_. + + .. _`number_of_colors`: http://packages.python.org/blessings/#blessings.Terminal.number_of_colors + + Compound Formatting + ------------------- + + If you want to do lots of crazy formatting all at once, you can just mash it + all together:: + + from blessings import Terminal + + term = Terminal() + print term.bold_underline_green_on_yellow + 'Woo' + term.normal + + Or you can use your newly coined attribute as a wrapper, which implicitly sets + everything back to normal afterward:: + + print term.bold_underline_green_on_yellow('Woo') + + This compound notation comes in handy if you want to allow users to customize + the formatting of your app: just have them pass in a format specifier like + "bold_green" on the command line, and do a quick ``getattr(term, + that_option)('Your text')`` when you do your formatting. + + I'd be remiss if I didn't credit couleur_, where I probably got the idea for + all this mashing. + + .. _couleur: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/couleur + + Parametrized Capabilities + ------------------------- + + Some capabilities take parameters. Rather than making you dig up ``tparm()`` + all the time, we simply make such capabilities into callable strings. You can + pass the parameters right in:: + + from blessings import Terminal + + term = Terminal() + print term.move(10, 1) + + Here are some of interest: + + ``move`` + Position the cursor elsewhere. Parameters are y coordinate, then x + coordinate. + ``move_x`` + Move the cursor to the given column. + ``move_y`` + Move the cursor to the given row. + + You can also reference any other string-returning capability listed on the + `terminfo man page`_ by its name under the "Cap-name" column. + + .. _`terminfo man page`: http://www.manpagez.com/man/5/terminfo/ + + Height and Width + ---------------- + + It's simple to get the height and width of the terminal, in characters:: + + from blessings import Terminal + + term = Terminal() + height = term.height + width = term.width + + These are newly updated each time you ask for them, so they're safe to use from + SIGWINCH handlers. + + Temporary Repositioning + ----------------------- + + Sometimes you need to flit to a certain location, print something, and then + return: for example, when updating a progress bar at the bottom of the screen. + ``Terminal`` provides a context manager for doing this concisely:: + + from blessings import Terminal + + term = Terminal() + with term.location(0, term.height - 1): + print 'Here is the bottom.' + print 'This is back where I came from.' + + Parameters to ``location()`` are ``x`` and then ``y``, but you can also pass + just one of them, leaving the other alone. For example... :: + + with term.location(y=10): + print 'We changed just the row.' + + If you want to reposition permanently, see ``move``, in an example above. + + Pipe Savvy + ---------- + + If your program isn't attached to a terminal, like if it's being piped to + another command or redirected to a file, all the capability attributes on + ``Terminal`` will return empty strings. You'll get a nice-looking file without + any formatting codes gumming up the works. + + If you want to override this--like if you anticipate your program being piped + through ``less -r``, which handles terminal escapes just fine--pass + ``force_styling=True`` to the ``Terminal`` constructor. + + In any case, there is an ``is_a_tty`` attribute on ``Terminal`` that lets you + see whether the attached stream seems to be a terminal. If it's false, you + might refrain from drawing progress bars and other frippery, since you're + apparently headed into a pipe:: + + from blessings import Terminal + + term = Terminal() + if term.is_a_tty: + with term.location(0, term.height - 1): + print 'Progress: [=======> ]' + print term.bold('Important stuff') + + Shopping List + ============= + + There are decades of legacy tied up in terminal interaction, so attention to + detail and behavior in edge cases make a difference. Here are some ways + Blessings has your back: + + * Uses the terminfo database so it works with any terminal type + * Provides up-to-the-moment terminal height and width, so you can respond to + terminal size changes (SIGWINCH signals). (Most other libraries query the + ``COLUMNS`` and ``LINES`` environment variables or the ``cols`` or ``lines`` + terminal capabilities, which don't update promptly, if at all.) + * Avoids making a mess if the output gets piped to a non-terminal + * Works great with standard Python string templating + * Provides convenient access to all terminal capabilities, not just a sugared + few + * Outputs to any file-like object, not just stdout + * Keeps a minimum of internal state, so you can feel free to mix and match with + calls to curses or whatever other terminal libraries you like + + Blessings does not provide... + + * Native color support on the Windows command prompt. However, it should work + when used in concert with colorama_. + + .. _colorama: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorama/0.2.4 + + Bugs + ==== + + Bugs or suggestions?

See the LICENSE file. + + Version History + =============== + + 1.3 + * Add ``number_of_colors``, which tells you how many colors the terminal + supports. + * Made ``color(n)`` and ``on_color(n)`` callable to wrap a string, like the + named colors can. Also, make them both fall back to the ``setf`` and + ``setb`` capabilities (like the named colors do) if the ANSI ``setaf`` and + ``setab`` aren't available. + * Allow ``color`` attr to act as an unparametrized string, not just a + callable. + * Make ``height`` and ``width`` examine any passed-in stream before falling + back to stdout. (This rarely if ever affects actual behavior; it's mostly + philosophical.) + * Make caching simpler and slightly more efficient. + * Get rid of a reference cycle between Terminals and FormattingStrings. + * Update docs to reflect that terminal addressing (as in ``location()``) is + 0-based. + + 1.2 + * Added support for Python 3! We need 3.2.3 or greater, because the curses + library couldn't decide whether to accept strs or bytes before that + (http://bugs.python.org/issue10570). + * Everything that comes out of the library is now unicode. This lets us + support Python 3 without making a mess of the code, and Python 2 should + continue to work unless you were testing types (and badly). Please file a + bug if this causes trouble for you. + * Changed to the MIT License for better world domination. + * Added Sphinx docs. + + 1.1 + * Added nicely named attributes for colors. + * Introduced compound formatting. + * Added wrapper behavior for styling and colors. + * Let you force capabilities to be non-empty, even if the output stream is + not a terminal. + * Added the ``is_a_tty`` attribute for telling whether the output stream is a + terminal. + * Sugared the remaining interesting string capabilities. + * Let ``location()`` operate on just an x *or* y coordinate. + + 1.0 + * Extracted Blessings from nose-progressive, my `progress-bar-having, + traceback-shortcutting, rootin', tootin' testrunner`_.
