curses: getting cell attributes.

Hello;

I am trying to determine all of the cell attributes active on a given
cell of a curses window. I start by getting a value that contains the
attribute and character at the specified location ...

cellValue = windowHandle.in ch(y, x)

Now, I have to pull out the attributes (MSB) ...

cellAttr = cellValue & 0x0000FF00

I should be able to test cellAttr for various attributes with bitwise
AND ...

if (cellAttr & curses.A_BOLD) == curses.A_BOLD: doSomething()

Doing this doesn't seem to work. All my cells come out as having the
same selection of attributes, curses.A_NORMAL , even though some are bold.

How do people test for active attributes in curses windows?
Many thanks,

Brian.

I am attempting to write a curses-based program. I would like to use the default terminal background rather than a black one (a significant difference with transluscent terminals, regardless of one's opinion of them). It appears that in the C ncurses interface, this is accomplished via use_default_colors() and assume_default_colors(). However, these functions don't seem to have parallels in the python binding. Is there some way to...

Hello; I'm writing a program with curses in python and having a bit of trouble understanding how to use unittest. So far, I have used testing successfully -- as long as the report goes to stdout (or does unittest write to stderr?) The curses part of the program seems to affect unittest's writing of the report. The screen is not what the report expects, so a lot of information is in the wrong place after the program exits. (I actually...

I have a routine that is called on Page_Init. It retrieves folder records from a database which I display as Link Buttons in a table cell. I set the table cell's bgcolor to a default color (say black for example). I am dynamically creating the LinkButton controls and adding them into the table cell and I've also hooked up an event handler for each LinkButton's Click event. This all works fine. Now in the Link Button's Click event...
