Thin, practical wrapper around terminal capabilities in Python2

Description

Blessed is a thin, practical wrapper around terminal capabilities in Python. It provides:

* Styles, color, and maybe a little positioning without necessarily

clearing the whole screen first.

* Works great with standard Python string formatting.

* Provides up-to-the-moment terminal height and width, so you can

respond to terminal size changes.

* Avoids making a mess if the output gets piped to a non-terminal:

outputs to any file-like object such as StringIO, files, or pipes.

* Uses the terminfo(5) database so it works with any terminal type and

supports any terminal capability: No more C-like calls to tigetstr

and tparm.

* Keeps a minimum of internal state, so you can feel free to mix and

match with calls to curses or whatever other terminal libraries you

like.

* Provides plenty of context managers to safely express terminal modes,

automatically restoring the terminal to a safe state on exit.

* Act intelligently when somebody redirects your output to a file,

omitting all of the terminal sequences such as styling, colors, or

positioning. Dead-simple keyboard handling: safely decoding unicode

input in your system's preferred locale and supports

application/arrow keys.

* Allows the printable length of strings containing sequences to be

determined.

This package installs the library for Python 2.
