Blessed is a Python library for handling advanced terminal interactions, including colored text, keyboard input, cursor movement, and screen control. It provides a higher-level, more Pythonic interface than using raw ANSI escape codes or curses. Developers use it to create rich command-line applications, interactive menus, or real-time dashboards directly in the terminal.
Installation:
pip install blessed
Example usage:
from blessed import Terminal
term = Terminal()
print(term.clear)
print(term.bold_green("Hello from Blessed!"))
with term.location(5, 10):
print(term.reverse("Text at row 10, column 5"))

3 Project Ideas:
- Create an interactive command-line text editor.
- Build a real-time server monitoring dashboard in the terminal.
- Design a retro-style game interface entirely in the console.
