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 at some point.
This isn't criticism, I just know that the curses module is the sort of
thing that probably isn't being maintained consistently, and I for one,
have no idea how well all the new terms in common use maintain the sort
of backwards compatibility python curses will need to do its job.
Thanks,
Ken

This isn't criticism either, but... if you know it has a long-standing
bug, why didn't you submit a patch yet? If you had submitted one for
Python 2.1 (say), the problem wouldn't be relevant today. If you submit
one today, the problem won't be relevant for Python 2.8, or Python 3.0.

Hello all,
I'm trying to learn Python, in particular the curses module. My system
is running Slackware 9.0 and the verion of Python that comes installed
with Slackware 9.0 is Python 2.2.2.
I've been trying to access the curses.wrapper module without any
success. I know that the wrapper exists in /usr/lib/python2.2/curses yet
any reference that I make to it is rebuffed by the interpreter.

I'd like to write a class or module in python that allows me to do
on-the-fly color changing in the curses module.
I'm thinking about something along the lines of this:
addstr(y, x, 'hello', brightyellow, blue)
The module would automatically interpret the above as
curses.init_pair(i, curses.COLOR_YELLOW, curses.COLOR_BLUE)

I'm having no success building the curses module on Solaris 8 (yes, I know

Python 2.4. Sun provides an apparently ancient version of curses in

libcurses.so I get some strange error about acs32map being undefined (which...

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.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

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,...
