What I am doing
Versions: Linux + Python 2.7 + Blessed 1.14.1
I have text strings continuously updating on terminal. Refresh rate is about 0.1 seconds.
They have different size and I clear the screen before printing back all the current values.
Problem
The terminal flickers when Terminal.clear() is called so often.
Possible (ugly) solution
I could pad each line to have fixed length and overlap it on the old text, but this is not elegant. I would imagine there is a better way to accomplish this.
EDIT
Pending a term.clear_eol (clear till end of line) is far more efficient than pad each line with blanks:
print(term.bold_white_on_red("text") + term.clear_eol)
Off course print(term.clear()) at the beginning must be removed to avoid the flickering.
Question
In curses I could use curses.erase() instead of curses.clear(), but I couldn't find any erase() in Blessed. Is there any other (obvious) solution that I am overlooking?
(PS: I already read all available docs. While I know quite a bit of curses I would like to start using Blessed because it is far easier.)
