I might take another stab at this, but at the moment I no longer plan on developing this.
PyKittyUI is an Open-Source low level python library to help you create TUIs in Kitty.
I've made this in order to create applications with full keyboard support, as specified in Kitty's protocol extensions.
It is licensed under the GPLv3 which means that any project using it must use GPLv3 (from what I understand, I might be wrong, don't take my word for it).
Here's a really simplified program that uses PyKittyUi to draw some text:
from pykittyui import Window
class HelloWorld(Window):
def draw(self):
buff.draw_text(0, 0, "Press q to quit.")
def on_key(self, event):
if event.key == "q" and not event.modifiers:
self.quit()
if __name__ == "__main__":
window = HelloWorld()
window.loop()For more examples, check out the examples directory.
