How to get Linux console window width in Python

Question

Is there a way in python to programmatically determine the width of the console? I mean the number of characters that fits in one line without wrapping, not the pixel width

Answer 1

Starting at Python 3.3 it is straight forward: https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#querying-the-size-of-a-terminal

>>> import os
>>> ts = os.get_terminal_size()
>>> ts.lines
24
>>> ts.columns
80
