An implementation of the Slide program used by dbeazley in his 2016 PyOhio talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-1Y4kSsAFc

Thank you to @petrposik for asking this question

Usage

from slides import Slide
a_text = '''some text with *ordinary* _markup_
spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple 

and with paragraphs'''
a = Slide('A header', a_text)

print(a)

Which will clear the terminal and print

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| \33[7mA header\33[0m                                                           |
|                                                                                |
| some text with \33[1mordinary\33[0m \33[4mmarkup\33[0m                         |
| spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanni |
| ng multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple                    |
| and with paragraphs                                                            |

Alternatively, you can also have multiple slides saved in variables which then can be called from the Python interactive in a presentation mode, like David did. For example, have below code snippet saved in a file, say test1.py.

from slides import Slide

text1 = '''some text111111111111 with *ordinary* _markup_
spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple 

and with paragraphs'''
slide1 = Slide('A header', text1)

text2 = '''some text2222222222222 with *ordinary* _markup_
spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple lines spanning multiple 

and with paragraphs'''
slide2 = Slide('A header', text2)

In Python interactive shell, enter

>>> from test1 import *

Then enter,

>>> slide1

You will find slide1 displayed.

Then enter,

>>> slide2

You will find slide2 displayed.
