The PyPIkconfiglib package is unmaintained. Migrate to the actively maintainedsysprog21/Kconfiglib fork which provides enhanced menuconfig/guiconfig UIs, bug fixes, and full Kconfig language compatibility.

Changes

Dependency updates:

tools/requirements.txt:kconfiglib>=13.7.1 →kconfiglib @ git+https://github.com/sysprog21/Kconfiglib
.github/workflows/utest_auto_run.yml: Updated pip install command

Documentation:

bsp/ultrarisc/ur_dp1000_evb/README.md: Updated installation instructions
bsp/k230/README.md: Updated installation instructions

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/sysprog21/Kconfiglib# orpip install -r tools/requirements.txt

Benefits

The fork provides:

Enhanced TUI with borders, shadows, and scrollbars
Professional GUI with dark/light themes
Multiple bug fixes
Active maintenance

API-compatible drop-in replacement (v14.1.1a4). No RT-Thread code changes required.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve
<issue_title>[Feature] Use refined Kconfiglib for improved rendering and configuration processing</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Describe problem solved by the proposed feature
The Kconfiglib package available onPyPI is no longer actively maintained. In contrast, the fork atsysprog21/Kconfiglib enhances the TUI to align more closely with the Linux kernel’s menuconfig, fixes several bugs, and preserves full compatibility with theKconfig language.
Describe your preferred solution
The screenshot below illustrates the improved TUI, including clearer window borders, drop shadows, and a functional scrollbar.
The screenshots below illustrate the improved user interface ofguiconfig.py, bringing it closer to the professional standard of the Linux kernel’s qconf (make xconfig). In addition, it introduces dark/light theme switching for guiconfig, featuring a blue color scheme for consistent cross-platform styling.
The configurator can use thesysprog21/Kconfiglib package instead of the unmaintained Kconfiglib, while still processing all existing configurations correctly.
Describe possible alternatives
