Blessed is a thin, practical wrapper around terminal capabilities in Python.
Brief Overview
Blessed is a more simplified wrapper around curses, providing :

Styles, color, and maybe a little positioning without necessarily
clearing the whole screen first.
Works great with standard Python string formatting.
Provides up-to-the-moment terminal height and width, so you can respond to
terminal size changes.
Avoids making a mess if the output gets piped to a non-terminal:
outputs to any file-like object such as StringIO, files, or pipes.
Uses the terminfo(5)_ database so it works with any terminal type
and supports any terminal capability: No more C-like calls to tigetstr_
and tparm_.
Keeps a minimum of internal state, so you can feel free to mix and match with
calls to curses or whatever other terminal libraries you like.
Provides plenty of context managers to safely express terminal modes,
automatically restoring the terminal to a safe state on exit.
Act intelligently when somebody redirects your output to a file, omitting
all of the terminal sequences such as styling, colors, or positioning.
Dead-simple keyboard handling: safely decoding unicode input in your
system's preferred locale and supports application/arrow keys.
Allows the printable length of strings containing sequences to be
determined.

Blessed does not provide...

Windows command prompt support.  A PDCurses_ build of python for windows
provides only partial support at this time -- there are plans to merge with
the ansi module in concert with colorama to resolve this.
