Create a welcome message on the linux terminal using python

Use the following code to create a welcome message,"Have a good day" on the linux terminal using python and ncurses library.

import curses as cur from curses import wrapper import time import datetime from curses.textpad import Textbox, rectangle stdscr = cur.initscr() cur.start_color() cur.noecho() cur.cbreak() cur.curs_set(0) stdscr.keypad(True) cur.init_pair(1, cur.COLOR_RED, cur.COLOR_WHITE) cols=lines=0 cols=(cur.COLS)//2 lines=(cur.LINES)//2 msg="Have a Good Day" for x in range(0,18): rectangle(stdscr, lines-1,cols-10, lines+1, cols+6) stdscr.addstr(lines,cols-9,msg[:x],cur.color_pair(1)) stdscr.refresh() time.sleep(1/2) stdscr.clear() cur.nocbreak() stdscr.keypad(False) cur.echo() cur.curs_set(1) cur.endwin()

Save the above file, let us say as hagd.py. and execute it in the linux terminal using the command.

python hagd.py

You should see the message have a good day appearing on the screen as shown below.

You can call this as a part of .bashrc to display the message every time terminal is launched
