Simple Python terminal (TUI) multi-line editor

Simple TUI editor

Python TUI?

What I want: - simple multi-line editor - not whole screen but only partial - show interactive feedback. e.g. mark edits, show number of edits, show diff in separate plane or so

https://docs.python.org/3/library/curses.html - too complex but at the same time too limited?

https://github.com/bczsalba/pytermgui (1.2k stars) - limited, no real text editor

https://urwid.org/examples/index.html (2.5k stars) - edit example: https://github.com/urwid/urwid/blob/master/examples/edit.py

https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit (7.9k stars) - too complex…? similar as curses…

https://github.com/pfalcon/picotui (0.7k stars) - good enough? editor: https://github.com/pfalcon/picotui/blob/master/picotui/editor.py - another editor: https://github.com/pfalcon/picotui/blob/master/seditor.py

https://github.com/Textualize/textual (13k stars) - async framework, I don’t want that…

(Or coding some line edit by hand, should not be too difficult…?)
