print_chat
Small print tool for implementing chat in the terminal.
https://pypi.org/project/print_chat
Usage example
import print_chat as pc
pct = pc.print_chat()
sender = 'Charls'
pct.set_colors([('Charls', 'green')])
while True:
post = str(input('> '))
if post == 'exit':
break
else:
pct.up_on_occupied_rows(len(post) + len(sender) + 2)
pct.add_message('Charls', post)
pct.close()For testing the main functionality:
import print_chat as pc
pct = pc.print_chat(time=True)
s = 0 # sender iterator
senders = ['Charls', 'Max', 'Karl']
pct.set_colors([
(senders[0], 'green'),
(senders[1], 'red'),
(senders[2], 'yellow')
])
pct.set_header('-Test chat-\n-----------') # adding a header to the dialog
while True:
post = str(input('> '))
pct.up_on_occupied_rows(len(post) + len(senders[s]) + 2)
command = post.split(' ')
if post == 'exit': break
elif command[0] == 'remove': pct.remove(int(command[1]))
elif command[0] == 'edit': pct.edit(int(command[1]), ' '.join(command[2:]))
elif command[0] == 'reload': pct.reload(int(command[1]))
elif command[0] == 'add_skip': pct.add_skip(int(command[1]), str(' '.join(command[2:])))
elif command[0] == 'edit_skip': pct.edit_skip(int(command[1]), ' '.join(command[2:]))
elif command[0] == 'remove_skip': pct.remove_skip(int(command[1]))
elif command[0] == 'add_mark': pct.add_mark(int(command[1]), str(command[2]))
elif command[0] == 'edit_mark': pct.edit_mark(int(command[1]), str(command[2]))
elif command[0] == 'remove_mark': pct.remove_mark(int(command[1]))
elif post == 'cs': s = (s+1) % len(senders) # change sender to next
else: pct.add_message(senders[s], post)
pct.close()
Important
Numbering starts at 1, at the end of the message list
This is not a bug this is a feature
Create object
default:
pct = print_chat.print_chat(time=False)- time - show message sending time
