python-curses

I'm looking for an example on how to use curses.panel to maintain overlapping windows. Mark Lakata I found this one here https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2001-April/105015.html . It moves one panel around the screen, below another panel. from time import sleep import curses, curses.panel def make_panel(h,l, y,x, str): win = curses.newwin(h,l, y,x) win.erase() win.box() win.addstr(2, 2, str) panel = curses.panel.new_panel(win) return win, panel def test(stdscr): try: curses.curs_set(0) except: pass stdscr.box() stdscr.addstr(2, 2, "panels everywhere") win1, panel1 = make_panel(10

Have a simple program: import curses import time window = curses.initscr() curses.cbreak() window.nodelay(True) while True: key = window.getch() if key != -1: print key time.sleep(0.01) curses.endwin() How can i turn on mode that doesn't ignore standart Enter, Backspace and Arrows keys functions? or only the way is to add all special characters to elif: if event == curses.KEY_DOWN: #key down function I'm trying modes curses.raw() and other, but there no effect... Please add example if you can. Here is an example that allows you to keep backspace (keep in mind ASCII code for backspace is 127):

In the Python curses module, I have observed that there is a roughly 1-second delay between pressing the esc key and getch() returning. This delay does not seem to occur for other keys. Why does this happen and what can I do about it? Test case: import curses import time def get_delay(window, key): while True: start = time.time() ch = window.getch() end = time.time() if ch == key: return end-start def main(stdscr): stdscr.clear() stdscr.nodelay(1) stdscr.addstr("Press ESC") esc_delay = get_delay(stdscr, 27) stdscr.addstr("\nPress SPACE") space_delay = get_delay(stdscr, ord(' ')) return esc

I can't seem to get the Python curses module to display colors, whereas the ncurses C library works fine. Here is a simple script that should work: import curses def main(stdscr): if not curses.has_colors(): raise stdscr.addstr("Hello world\n", curses.color_pair(curses.COLOR_RED)) stdscr.addstr("Press any key to exit.\n") stdscr.refresh() while stdscr.getch() == -1: pass if __name__ == '__main__': curses.wrapper(main) I can only see "Press any key to exit.". I know "Hello world" is being written because of the new line, but I can't see the text. I attempted various color pairs, but only 0, i.e

Using python multiprocessing and curses, it appears that terminating a Process interferes with curses display. For example, in the following code, why does terminating the process stops curses from displaying the text ? (pressing b after pressing a) More precisely, it seems that not only the string "hello" is not displayed anymore but also the whole curses window. import curses from multiprocessing import Process from time import sleep def display(stdscr): stdscr.clear() curses.newwin(0,0) stdscr.timeout(500) p = None while True: stdscr.addstr(1, 1, "hello") stdscr.refresh() key = stdscr.getch
