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().
I'd also appreciate any pointers to good tutorials on curses, I've read
the one by awk and esr but found it rather brief and lacking in detail.
Thanks.
import curses
def main(scr):
status = curses.newwin(1 , curses.COLS, 0, 0) status.bkgd('0' )
status.refresh( )
list = curses.newwin(c urses.LINES, curses.COLS, 1, 0) list.bkgd('X')
list.refresh()
y = 0
while True:
c = list.getch()
if c in (curses.KEY_UP, curses.KEY_DOWN , ord('z')):
list.addstr("Ma tch!")
elif c == ord('q'):
break
curses.wrapper( main)

If I use scr.subwin() instead of curses.newwin() ...
y = 0
while True:
c = list.getch()
and scr.getch() instead of list.getch(), things seem to work. I'd still
really like to know what's going on though.

I don't have a linux here now but I vaguely remember running into this.
I think what I did was just writing down what code you do get when
pressing down and up, etc, and using that code. By the way I looked
around back then and didn't find any thorough tutorials on curses,
either.

esr only contributed his name - awk wrote the rest.
(When I asked why, he only said it sounded like a good idea ;-)

Now that I have gotoxy() down for moving the cursor around, I want that
to be a result of keypresses (namely from the numpad -- 7 = NorthWest,
8 = North, 9 = NE, etc...). I have little clue how to do this. After
searching google, I've come upon this; include:

the keyboard press (getch(), raw_input, etc.). What is the best method
to use for reading...

Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble controlling the cursor position when I make two
consecutive calls to the get family of functions. This problem does not
happen if there is an output in between.
The following code illustrates the problem in a simplified way:

I know that the curses module has a long-standing bug wherein cursor
visibility can't be set. I'm looking at using the module for certain
uses, and this isn't a problems (as long as I hide the cursor offscreen)
as I would control visuals to provide a simulated cursor anyway. I'm
wondering, though, if there are any other elements of the curses module
I should be aware of before I commit to it, i.e. bugs that could cause
serious difficulties...

Hi All,
Recently I ran into a problem with UTF-8 surrport when using curses
library in python 2.5 in Fedora 7. I found out that the program using
curses cannot print out unicode characters correctly on UTF-8 enabled
console. I googled around and got an impression that the reason for
this problem is that python is linked with libcurses library instead
of libcursesw. The latter one is said to be able to solve this
problem. Has anybody...

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,...
