[Question] What is the status of the npyscreen project?

[antimatter84]

Hi Nicholas @npcole,

this nice project looks very interesting and I might very well use it in a project at work. Some questions arose though.

What is the current status of the project?
There haven't been any development since October 2015. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between abandoned and just stable/finished (nothing more to do) state.
I have seen the merged pull request in 2019 for the documentation

What is official home of the source now?
This Github repo was automatically created. BitBucket must have deleted all Mercurial repos by now and Google Code is just a read-only archive. @jerome-diver also mentioned this (Github?) repo may be out of date.

What is the current development/maintenance plan?
Python keeps their versions coming. Do you have in mind keeping npyscreen compatible with future python versions?

Thanks.

also we can see that there are already fixes on master for a long time that make it work on python >=3.7
like this one: f4e68e5

@npcole is it possible for you to answer this question or upload a new version to pypi? The maintainers for Linux Manjaro only want to use the stable version of npyscreen, which is version 4.10.5, released in 2015. This doesn't include the changes to make it work on python >=3.7 as stated by @bartlomiejcieszkowski above.
