[Urwid] Urwid presentation at OCLUG

[Ian Ward]

The presentation went well, but I could have used some more time to 
answer questions.

The issue of horizontal scrolling came up again, so I will explore some 
of the best ways to do that.

Someone also asked about writing a widget for running console apps in... 
that kind of scares me, because someone will want to run a shell over 
the web_display module (a very insecure thing to do).

I've posted the slides for my presentation at:
http://excess.org/urwid/oclug200604.py

The slides require Urwid version 0.9.2 and a UTF-8 capable terminal.  If 
you don't have a UTF-8 terminal it can run in plain ascii mode:
$ python oclug200604.py ascii

I did the presentation on a Linux console with the font 
"latarcyrheb-sun16.psf", which is the default in Ubuntu Breezy.

You can use the mouse or "space" and "backspace" to move through slides.
