I’m maintaining a framework of tests which are run on a diskless Linux client, in character mode (no graphical desktop).
The tests often print out a lot of info, which scrolls off the screen.
I’d like to add a 1-2 line no-scroll-area at the top of the screen, so as to print a message which indicates the progress of the current test.
I am thinking about using the Python curses module for this, unless someone would suggest an alternative solution, although I’m not sure if the curses module has this non-scroll area capability.
What would be the closest approximation to using wxPython in a non-graphical environment on Linux, in order to achieve
a non-scrollable area in a console?
