a console user interface library written is python.

Install urwid
-------------

On other systems urwid may be installed via pip or directly put into the sources
of getan.

Using pip
^^^^^^^^^

To install urwid via pip run as root::

    $ pip install urwid

Or if you prefer using a virtualenv::

    $ virtuelenv getan-env
    $ source getan-env/bin/activate
    (getan-env)$ pip install urwid

Using urwid sources
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Urwid can be put as source to the getan directory when getan is run directly
from the sources. Urwid source can be downloaded from `pypi
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/urwid/>`_ or from the `urwid website
<http://excess.org/urwid/>`_.

For urwid 1.1.1 the direct download link from pypi is
`<https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/u/urwid/urwid-1.1.1.tar.gz>`_ (md5sum
