[Urwid] An urwid version of zenity?

[Jeff Smith]

Thanks for the quick response, guys.

Andrew: I looked at python-dialog, and it offers the pager and a few
other nice features, but it doesn't have an editbox. The inputbox is
fine for grabbing text entries, but I need the ability to edit an
existing paragraph or two of text and I didn't see anything like that.
And if I have to use something else to get editing, I might as well
try to use the same thing for the pager. No sense in mixing toolkits
unnecessarily.

Ian: Thanks for the tip about the screen.stop call. I may use that if
I have to roll these myself.

My dream, ultimately (whether I have to roll it myself or can find it
elsewhere) is a single function pager that I can call like this:

pager(myLongTextString)

and a single function editor that gets called like this:

newLongString = editor(oldLongString)

I still think having a few dead-simple toy examples like that in urwid
would help make it an even more attractive module for people to pick
up and start using. And if I end up doing it myself, I'll contribute
them back as examples.
