GitLab

Currently silkaj is using dirty one-shot os.system("clear") then tabulate lib to display charts.

It's not possible to sort lines and to keep open all this charts. It could also be possible to see evolving charts.

The library should preferably be asynchronous.

Silkaj can be a multiple-gui client. Silkaj would stay a CLI client. Then, I would preferably go first for a console client using blessed/curses, then a GUI client using PyGObject/GTK4.

Curses libraries

All in Debian

• blessed − doc
• urwid
• curtisies
• terminaltables
• npyscreen − Blog article
• picotui
• asciimatics
• bitcoind-ncurses2

Curses

To do so, I suggest to use curses lib. We could takes example and use curses lib used on XMPP console client Poezio.

GTK/PyGObject

• https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

GTK4 could also be a solution, but it will needs too much works and will almost reproduce Sakia.

• Could be a nice way to have it on the Librem 5/PinePhone

Modern Python applications which uses Python3/GTK+3: Lollypop. Pitivi, (Gajim, Deluge).
