Since other people have chimed in on this, could I also add that I was
using the Blinkenlights UI and would be said to see it go.  I actually
do know a fair bit about curses programming in python, so I'd be
prepared to help fix it if it meant keeping it in (though I won't have
time to do so for the next couple of weeks) and if the description of
what was 'wrong' was clear enough.

I wasn't going to say anything, because it is very good to see the
project moving forward. But since I don't seem to be the only person
using Blinkenlights after-all, I thought I'd speak up!

Best wishes,

Nicholas
