Python wrapper for the UNIX "dialog" utility
Easy writing of graphical interfaces for terminal-based applications

WARNING
-------

This version is a backport of pythondialog to Python 2. Unless you
*really* have to use Python 2, you should go to the `pythondialog home
page`_ and download the reference implementation which, at the time of
this writing (May 2015) and for the forseeable future, is targeted
at Python 3.

.. _pythondialog home page: http://pythondialog.sourceforge.net/

This version is only here to help users who are somehow forced to still
use Python 2, even though Python 3.0 was released on December 3, 2008.
It may be the last update for Python 2. In addition, the reference
implementation is less likely to have bugs.

Before using this backport, be sure to read the `Backport-specific
notes`_ below.

Overview
--------

pythondialog is a Python wrapper for the UNIX dialog_ utility
originally written by Savio Lam and later rewritten by Thomas E. Dickey.
Its purpose is to provide an easy to use, pythonic and as complete as
possible interface to dialog_ from Python code.
