I have a super simple program that uses Urwid for text-based UIs:
import urwid
title = urwid.Text('Test')
pile = urwid.Pile([
title,
])
body = urwid.Frame(pile)
urwid.MainLoop(body).run()
However when I run it, I get an error like so:
/home/user/anaconda3/envs/torch-env/bin/python /home/user/Work/market-maker/test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Why is that? What am I missing?
I managed to get it working by putting it inside a Filler object
import urwid
title = urwid.Text('Test')
pile = urwid.Pile([
title
])
body = urwid.Filler(pile)
loop = urwid.MainLoop(body)
loop.run()
