Hi u/willm , in the snippet " layout05.py ", a css path is assigned in the LayoutApp class. Running this snippet as-is gets a StylesheetError because there's nothing yet at that path. Commenting this out allows the snippet to work. The same is true of the following final snippet. Thanks for an awesome resource! More on reddit.com

April 23, 2023 - However, Getting Textual up and running is not a terribly complicated process, just by running one command pip install textual or by checking out the repo and running poetry install. Since I used the latter in deepwordle, let me give you a high overview of what poetry is and how it has been my go-to tool for building packages and managing dependencies. This section will highlight the most important things that will help you start working with poetry. However, it is worth mentioning that there are many ways to install a python package: using pip, pypenv, pdm, poetry, and many more.

Hi All. I am new to python and wanted to take a chance and make my first program however, I am having some issues getting the TUI how I would like it and I am seeking some help.
My goal is to have a docked side bar with selectable menu options the user can navigate through. There will also be a docked lower bar where process messages will be displayed. And then a content area in the whole upper right portion of the terminal. When I was using screens it was easy to navigate but I could not get a static menu or keep the message box in place. But now I cannot get it to work. I've tried both screens and widgets. Then again this is my first time so I was just seeing if anyone has worked with a similar layout.
Thankyou for any support.

Honestly my advice is to understand how open source projects with that style do it. I.e.GitHub, it’s not cheating, it’s studying :)
