Hopefully the name gives it away, but this is NOT the main project page for npyscreen!

That would be located here: https://code.google.com/p/npyscreen/

npyscreen is primarily (as I understand it) the brain-child of Nicholas Cole, much thanks to them and others for the development of this interesting tool!

What's the deal with nypscreen-restructure?

I really couldn't think of a better name, also I am not really necessarily trying to create a splinter fork. Maybe if I accomplish anything worthwhile then it will be folded back into the primary project.

I have some interesting ideas for creating a fairly advanced terminal UI project, and I am considering whether or not it might be accomplished with npyscreen. But to be quite honest (respectfully), npyscreen is not well organized and much could be improved by a concerted effort to restructure and refactor.

The near-term goal is to restructure/refactor and amend inconsistencies and get it working again more or less as it was (albeit with a significantly altered API). There are a few practices I may change along the way. Mid to long-term, hopefully I'll be able to contribute some more advanced scientific-focused widgets and develop some "live instrumentation" style interface stuff.
