For some reason, I can't get curses to refresh the screen. Can someone
offer a suggestion to try to debug this?
Here is my python code snippet:
stdscr=curses.i nitscr()
curses.noecho()
curses.cbreak()
stdscr.keypad(1 )
global screen
screen = stdscr.subwin(2 3, 79, 0, 0)
screen.border()
while 1 == 1:
screen.addstr(5 ,5, str(time.localt ime()))
screen.refresh( )
When run this, the local time is displayed ONCE, and then never changes.
Why isn't the screen.refresh( ) command refreshing the display?
I'm running a terminal session from within KDE, but I didn't think this
would matter.
Any ideas to suggest?

Hi,
I have a medium sized app that I'm transferring to use curses.
What happens is very very strange.. I am at my wits' ends. I worked
with it all day yesterday and couldn't figure it out. Today morning I
thought about it and still nothing. I hope that some curses expert can
figure out what's wrong from my description. I'm very new to curses so
I am not sure I know which details are crucial, so please answer me if
you need more...

I've been working on a curses-based application in Python. My
application effectively has a series of screens (or windows). When
one screen closes, the previous screen should be exactly redrawin in
its original state (i.e., before the sub-screen was created).
As far as I can tell, the putwin() and getwin() functions can easily
solve this problem. So I can do something like this:
# draw/write some stuff on stdscr......

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...

Hi,
I'm trying to print out text in color. As far as I know, curses is the
only way to do that (or not?). So, what I ultimately want is a curses
terminal that behaves as closely as possible as a normal terminal, i.e.
it breaks lines and scrolls automatically, so that I can implement a
function myprint(color, text) that does what print() does, only in color.
So, my first tests brought up some problems:

I'm working on a small curses application that opens an external

Once I exit vi and return to the curses application I lose the
background color, window frames, and any text I had on the screen
before I opened vi. I can still see the program functioning though as
it is still responding to key strokes and still updating small
portions of the screen. I'm obviously doing...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
