I always thought it would be fun to create my own open source libraries or applications and distribute them somehow. When I started writing my book, Creating TUI Applications with Textual and Python, I took the plunge and wrote a helper package called textual-cogs, which is a collection of reusable dialogs and widgets for Textual. Right now, it is mostly just dialogs, but I do hope to add some widgets to it as well.
Anyway, I have released two new dialogs in the past week, with one in v0.0.4 and the other in v0.0.5. A Textual Directory Dialog In v0.0.5, I added a directory dialog similar to wxPython’s wx.DirDialog. The dialog will display the user’s directories and allow the user to choose one. It will also allow the user to create a new folder. Here’s a screenshot: A Textual Open File Dialog In v0.0.4, I also added an open file dialog. Textual cogs already has a save file dialog, and I had meant to include the open file dialog originally, but only recently got it added. Here is what that looks like: How to Install textual-cogs You can install textual-cogs using pip or uv: python -m pip install textual-cogs Where to Get textual-cogs You can find textual-cogs on the following websites: GitHub Python Packaging Index The post Textual-cogs 0.0.5 Released appeared first on Mouse Vs Python.
