.. module:: dialog
:synopsis: A Python interface to the UNIX dialog utility and mostly-compatible programs
:platform: Unix
.. codeauthor:: Florent Rougon
.. codeauthor:: Robb Shecter

.. sectionauthor:: Florent Rougon
This manual documents pythondialog_, a Python wrapper for the 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
comprehensive Python interface to :program:`dialog`. This allows one to make
simple text-mode user interfaces on Unix-like systems.

.. _dialog: http://invisible-island.net/dialog/dialog.html
pythondialog's functionality is contained within the :mod:`dialog` Python
module. This module doesn't contain much Unix-specific code, if
any; however, its backend of reference, which is the :program:`dialog`
program, only works on Unix-like platforms so far as I can tell. Given a
suitable backend, the :mod:`dialog` module could work on other platforms.
