I'm trying to write a script that just uses the terminal, but I don't know how realistic my expectations are. It's a data entry thing I want to make to make my life easier. I would like something that looks like this:
100456 John Doe [] () () () () [ ]
100873 Alice Everly [] () () () () [ ]
...
...
Basically a screen with a list of 20-30 people with text entry boxes and check boxes. I want to be able to arrow up and down and move around. I remember using text based programs way back when and they still just seem more efficient.
I've been looking at ncurses, urwid, straight bash... I think I can get any of these to work, but if anyone has a suggestion on a language or framework that would make this easier, I'd sure appreciate it. I don't want to get a week or two in and then realize I could have done it another way in an hour.
