That's great!

Would you consider relicensing it LGPL so I can incorporate parts of it 
in the library?

Urwid will pass along mouse drag events if it receives them.  I think 
that the curses library filters them out.  Try raw_display instead. (or 
run "python input_test.py raw" to see what your terminal is sending.
