It's the granddaddy of all of them.

Yes, it's an OS as well as a language although a tiny one that runs under MacOS, Linux and Windows if you want. So does the bare language of the same name. (Think of it as Pascal 3.)
The inspiration behind Plan 9's Acme.
Turbo Vision, this is TUI perfection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Vision
I recently added Unicode support into Turbo Vision: https://github.com/magiblot/tvision
Earlier quoted context omitted.
How popular is it in the Python space? I loved the large text widget and would love to contribute with a font using the Teletext 2x3 mosaics that got into Unicode 13 (which are fully supported in VTE)
You can check out download stats stats for Urwid on PyPI Stats [1], that should give you a decent idea of its popularity. Also check out the list of applications built with Urwid [2]. Probably the two most popular applications that use Urwid are bpython [3] (an alternative Python REPL that is really nice), and PUDB [4] (a nice Python debugger that is reminiscent of Borland's Turbo Pascal). I use bpython all the time,…
I realize, with abit of shame, urwid is thousands of times more popular than my own pip-chill tool.
I like termbox. I'm the Ada binding maintainer. A quick search and you can find many other language bindings. https://github.com/bmsauer/termbox-ada
Looks like the project is no longer being maintained (as of two weeks ago?), so it kind of pours water on that idea (unless you or someone else is going to take over the main library maintainer work).
Either way, it is an extremely minimalistic library that has well documented code, so it's very possible to tailor it to whatever needs you have.
