Terminal image with Python

You can display an image in terminal. Using Python you can use the module timg.

Setup

timg is available as a package on PyPI. You can install it with pip:

$ pip install timg

Now you can use the timg command in your terminal.

usage

To display an image from code:

import timg

obj = timg.Renderer()                                                                                               
obj.load_image_from_file("test.png")                                                                                
obj.resize(100,40)
obj.render(timg.ASCIIMethod)

That turns the image into ascii art.

To run it as command line program:

    usage: timg [-h] [-V] [-i] [-m METHOD] [-r N] [-s W] [filename]

    print an image in terminal


    positional arguments:
      filename              filename of an image

    optional arguments:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      -V, --version         print version and exit
      -i, --invert-background
                            invert grayscale in ASCII mode
      -m METHOD, --method METHOD
                            name of a rendering method (use `-m list` to list
                            available methods, the default is a24h)
      -r N, --reduce-colors N

                            reduce color palette of an input image (1-256)
      -s W, --size W        width of an image

    obj.load_image_from_file("moonblight.jpg")                                                                                
    obj.resize(100,40)
    obj.render
    city_options = """                       
                         | A) enter the city                                                                     |

    print(city_options)
    x = input()






save()

Hate to bother but was also wondering how to run this example code you gave but without it applying any styles like ASCII to it.
