Category: Python Library Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jacob Lilly (jrlilly) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: curses.initscr - initscr exit w/o env(TERM) set Initial Comment: the initscr in ncurses will cause an immeadiation exit if the env doesn't have the TERM variable set. Could the curses.initscr be changed so it tests if TERM is set and raises an exception? It would be helpful to be able to try and except this instead of just having ncurses exit for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jacob Lilly (jrlilly) Date: 2005-02-09 13:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=774886 that is any return of 0 from newterm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jacob Lilly (jrlilly) Date: 2005-02-09 13:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=774886 sorry, I should have done that in the beginning; I have it raising a RuntimeError, I think thats what it is. This doesn't really solve the problem in whole, since ncurses initscr has lots of ways it could decide to decide to exit (any return value from newterm causes it to exit), but it does solve a more common one. Anything else would require modifying ncruses to be responsible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Hudson (mwh) Date: 2005-02-09 12:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6656 How amazingly terrible (on ncurses part). Do you want to/are you able to work on a patch? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1119331&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
