Curses on Windows

Peter

Last November I posted a message asking for advice on using simple
screen handling techniques under Windows. Since then I have been
occupied with family / job /Christmas /living and trying to
understand curses under linux (it works, seems very complex, sure I'm
missing something ...). Only now am I returning to my original query.

One reply (in fact the only reply - thanks Tim Golden) suggested I
look at http://flangy.com/dev/python/curses/

Just tried that and got the message

"You don't have permission to access
/dev/python/curses/files/wcurses-0.1-py2.4.zip on this server."

any ideas why I can't access it - or any alternative URL's, or indeed
any other suggestions at all! Grateful for any reply.

The email address is the one I registered under Google, and is now
defunct!

Hi Peter,

Last November I posted a message asking for advice on using simple
screen handling techniques under Windows. Since then I have been
occupied with family / job /Christmas /living and trying to
understand curses under linux (it works, seems very complex, sure I'm
missing something ...). Only now am I returning to my original query.

One reply (in fact the only reply - thanks Tim Golden) suggested I
look at http://flangy.com/dev/python/curses/ There was a similar thread last month. See my reply for more links. I
haven't tested them, but they may help.

Just tried that and got the message

Yes, I also have problems.

curses : unexpected behaviour with pad

by: Riccardo Galli | last post by:

Hi, I'm writing some widgets in curses. Actually I'm trying to write a combobox. To do so, I need to create a pad inside a panel, so that I can hide/show it. I can't do it. I can create a normal pad, but if I try to create it using "subpad" from a window I get _curses_panel.error: curses function returned NULL

curses problem reading cursor keys

by: Simon Morgan | last post by:

Hi, I'm having trouble with the following code. The problem is that the value read by getch() when I hit the up or down keys doesn't match curses.KEY_UP or curses.KEY_DOWN respectively. Other keys, such as 'z' in my example code, work fine. I only seem to have this problem when dealing with newly created windows and not with the standard/default/root one created by curses.wrapper() and passed to main().

A curses-game I need help with.

by: Gasten | last post by:

Hello. The last weeks I've been coding a roguelike (you know, like nethack) in python using the nCurses library. Some week ago I ran into a problem: When I made the object for messagebar-output, I found a bug that I can't figure out (believe me; I've tried everything and asked for help several times on the IRC-channel). The updateMsg() and iMsg() takes a list of message-lines as argument (or process a string to a list), and it'll output...

Python and (n)curses

by: pinkfloydhomer | last post by:

I need to develop a cross-platform text-mode application. I would like to do it in Python and I would like to use a mature text-mode library for the UI stuff. The obvious choice, I thought, was ncurses. But as far as I can tell, it is not available for Python on Windows? Is there a workaround? Or are there alternative libraries that might be used instead of (n)curses? I know I can use (n)curses on *nix and console on Windows etc., but...

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
