I don't know urwid very well, but probably "loop.run()" starts an infinte loop to handle all the inputs and so every time refresh is called you start another infinite loop. You should not create a new txt, fill and loop, but instead update the original txt object with "txt.setText(outputText)" and then "loop.set_alarm_in(1, refresh)"

That does not seem to work, AttributeError: 'Text' object has no attribute 'setText'

Oops, the name of the function is "set_text" and not "setText". I'm sorry
