New submission from Denilson Figueiredo de Sá <denilso...@gmail.com>:
Please add a function called "os.get_terminal_size()" that should return a tuple "(width, height)". The built-in "argparse" module would directly benefit from this function, as it would wrap the help text correctly. I'm pretty sure many users would also benefit from it. Once this function gets implemented, issue #13041 can be trivially fixed. There are some suggestions about how to implement this feature in issue #8408. [extra feature:] After this function gets implemented, it might be a good idea to implement some kind of API to detect size changes without requiring probing. (or, at least, the documentation should give some directions about how to achieve it) ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 149586 nosy: denilsonsa priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add "os.get_terminal_size()" function type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13609> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
