        Introduction
        ============
        
        Blessed is an easy, practical *library* for making *terminal* apps, by providing an elegant,
        well-documented interface to Colors_, Keyboard_ input, and screen position and Location_
        capabilities.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from blessed import Terminal
        
            term = Terminal()
        
            print(term.home + term.clear + term.move_y(term.height // 2))
            print(term.black_on_darkkhaki(term.center('press any key to continue.')))
        
            with term.cbreak(), term.hidden_cursor():
                inp = term.inkey()
        
            print(term.move_down(2) + 'You pressed ' + term.bold(repr(inp)))

           :alt: Animation of running the code example
        
        It's meant to be *fun* and *easy*, to do basic terminal graphics and styling with Python using
        *blessed*. Terminal_ is the only class you need to import and the only object you should need for
        Terminal capabilities.
        
        Whether you want to improve CLI apps with colors, or make fullscreen applications or games,
        *blessed* should help get you started quickly. Your users will love it because it works on Windows,
        Mac, and Linux, and you will love it because it has plenty of documentation and examples!

        Requirements
        ------------
        
        *Blessed* works with Windows, Mac, Linux, and BSD's, on Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8.
        
        Brief Overview
        --------------
        
        *Blessed* is more than just a Python wrapper around curses_:
        
        * Styles_, Colors_, and maybe a little positioning without necessarily clearing the whole screen
          first.
        * Works great with Python's new f-strings_ or any other kind of string formatting.
        * Provides up-to-the-moment Location_ and 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, you can output sequences to any
          file-like object such as *StringIO*, files, pipes or sockets.
        * Uses `terminfo(5)`_ so it works with any terminal type and capability: No more C-like calls to
          tigetstr_ and tparm_.
        * Non-obtrusive calls to only the capabilities database ensures that you are free to mix and match
          with calls to any other curses application code or library you like.
        * Provides context managers `Terminal.fullscreen()`_ and `Terminal.hidden_cursor()`_ to safely
          express terminal modes, curses development will no longer fudge up your shell.
        * Act intelligently when somebody redirects your output to a file, omitting all of the special
          sequences colors, but still containing all of the text.
        
        *Blessed* is a fork of `blessings <https://github.com/erikrose/blessings>`_, which does all of
        the same above with the same API, as well as following **enhancements**:
        
        * Windows support, new since Dec. 2019!
        * Dead-simple keyboard handling: safely decoding unicode input in your system's preferred locale and
          supports application/arrow keys.
        * 24-bit color support, using `Terminal.color_rgb()`_ and `Terminal.on_color_rgb()`_ and all X11
          Colors_ by name, and not by number.
        * Determine cursor location using `Terminal.get_location()`_, enter key-at-a-time input mode using
          `Terminal.cbreak()`_ or `Terminal.raw()`_ context managers, and read timed key presses using
          `Terminal.inkey()`_.
        * Allows the *printable length* of strings that contain sequences to be determined by
          `Terminal.length()`_, supporting additional methods `Terminal.wrap()`_ and `Terminal.center()`_,
          terminal-aware variants of the built-in function `textwrap.wrap()`_ and method `str.center()`_,
          respectively.
        * Allows sequences to be removed from strings that contain them, using `Terminal.strip_seqs()`_ or
          sequences and whitespace using `Terminal.strip()`_.
        
        Before And After
        ----------------
        
        With the built-in curses_ module, this is how you would typically
        print some underlined text at the bottom of the screen:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from curses import tigetstr, setupterm, tparm
            from fcntl import ioctl
            from os import isatty
            import struct
            import sys
            from termios import TIOCGWINSZ
        
            # If we want to tolerate having our output piped to other commands or
            # files without crashing, we need to do all this branching:
            if hasattr(sys.stdout, 'fileno') and isatty(sys.stdout.fileno()):
                setupterm()
                sc = tigetstr('sc')
                cup = tigetstr('cup')
                rc = tigetstr('rc')
                underline = tigetstr('smul')
                normal = tigetstr('sgr0')
            else:
                sc = cup = rc = underline = normal = ''
        
            # Save cursor position.
            print(sc)
        
            if cup:
                # tigetnum('lines') doesn't always update promptly, hence this:
                height = struct.unpack('hhhh', ioctl(0, TIOCGWINSZ, '\000' * 8))[0]
        
                # Move cursor to bottom.
                print(tparm(cup, height - 1, 0))
        
            print('This is {under}underlined{normal}!'
                  .format(under=underline, normal=normal))
        
            # Restore cursor position.
            print(rc)
        
        The same program with *Blessed* is simply:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from blessed import Terminal
        
            term = Terminal()
            with term.location(0, term.height - 1):
                print('This is ' + term.underline('underlined') + '!')
