Re: Enhancements for Urwid

Hi!

This is all great news.

I just saw your ticket tracker after sending my mail. So I could have 
reduced my list to "All tracker items plus some others"

I won't answer every single issue as most of them are already on "Go" and we 
will address details during implementation.

So how do we proceed from here? Am fine with sending in patches or python 
file for new widgets. But how are we going to do further planning. I 
personally prefer wiki pages over posting based solutions like mail or 
tracker. But that's up to you.

We also should meet in IRC. When are you reachable there? We are normally 
working around 8:00-18:00 UTC but other times of day are fine for me too (as 
long as its not daily) with extending into the evening is easier than 
getting up early ;)=

The difference to Columns and Pile is that the user can change the widths 
interactively. So they'd be subclasses of Columns and Pile.

I will try using the Wiki pages you have started at

That's a little early for me, but I should be there from time to time. 
If you feel like having a "meeting" that can be arranged.

Perhaps I should start doing my hacking early in the morning (and learn 
a little German :-)

Partially.  I am going to extend the CompositeCanvas class to have a 
pointer to the widget that drew it, and a list of the canvases it 
contains.
