How to set Russian language in npyscreen?

Question

Python

Only English works in npyscreen , and Russian is not even entered from the keyboard. How to set up Russian input? Or maybe there are similar libraries for TUI?

Answer 1

Also faced this problem.
Inside the library, you need to change the following modules:
1. wgtextbox.py
~420 replace the line with:

if (curses.ascii.isprint(inp) or ord('А')<= inp <=ord('я')) and \
        (chr(inp) not in '\n\t\r'):

Also comment out the following lines:

# "^K":           self.h_erase_right,
# "^U":           self.h_erase_left,

2. wgwidget.py
Comment out the line:
# "^P": self.h_exit_up,

Answer 2

Why do you need npyscreen?
I wanted to write a console application, I tried npyscreen, but I was advised to use curses, since npyscreen is no longer supported.
