curses -- getxy() error

[shablool]

Hi,
Could someone please explain why stdscr.getxy() always raise an
exception:

import curses
import traceback

def init(stdscr):
x = y = 0
while 1:
c = stdscr.getch()
if c == ord('q'):
break
stdscr.addch(c)
(x, y) = stdscr.getxy()
stdscr.refresh()

def main():
try:
curses.wrapper(init)
except Exception, e:
traceback.print_exc()

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

the method is named getyx(), this is old unix heritage.
see http://www.python.org/doc/2.0.1/lib/curses-window-objects.html

Thanks! (silly me)

If you post the exception traceback here (the whole thing, cut and
pasted from your terminal window), we can show you how to analyze it to
determine for yourself exactly what the problem is. This will help you
in the future, even if k33rni's answer solves your immediate problem...

true, remember that for the future. and that goes to everybody asking
questions here. thing is, I've done enough curses programming (in both
Python and C) to see this particular issue immediately, without the
need for a traceback. :)
