I am trying to use Python curses.textpad to get (preferably UTF-8 but not needed) input from the user in a python curses application, but I realize that it is extremely limited and doesn't allow me to specify an existing text to edit. Also it doesn't seem to provide scrolling abilities on the window.
Is this at all possible to get a large chunk of text using curses module like a GUI textbox or should I look at alternatives like newt? I prefer curses because it's simple and very flexible, but I am lost for ideas on this. Any ideas which doesn't involve throwing away the whole curses interface would be appreciated. -- V.Harishankar http://literaryforums.org http://harishankar.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
