summary

Live demos show exact bytes that make color, cursor moves and ANSI escape sequences, a concrete progress‑bar using carriage return, and how LS changes output by checking isatty and terminal width. Expect code using curses/blessings and the fork blessed, Urwid and Python Prompt Toolkit plus pty/pexpect experiments, discussion of raw/cbreak/cooked modes, SIGWINCH resizing, and a couple working examples (a full‑screen TUI, bpython bits, and a terminal screencast) and where each approach breaks.
