Dashing is a library to quickly create terminal-based dashboards in Python.
Similar libraries for other languages: termui blessed blessed-contrib
Dependencies
The blessed library.
Installation
Use packages from your Linux distribution, or:
pip install dashingQuick mode
If you want to provide a simple UI to a script, Dashing can generate a layout automatically.
import time
from dashing import QuickDash
def main():
d = QuickDash()
d.status = "Running..."
d.logs.append("Started")
for progress in range(100):
d.gauges['progess'] = progress
if progress % 10 == 0:
d.logs.append("Started")
time.sleep(0.05)
d.status = "Done!"
time.sleep(1)Normal mode
In normal mode you have full control over the UI
