Zbyszek Szmek <zbys...@in.waw.pl> added the comment: This is proof-of-concept implementation.
This adds two modules: termsize (python) and _termsize (C). The first one contains the get_terminal_size user-facing function and namedtuple definition. The second on contains the function query_terminal_size which does the real job. Two simple tests are added. I'm not sure if it is feasible to test with different terminal sizes: it certainly _could_ be done, e.g. by launching an xterm with a specified geometry, but this would be much more complicated than this implementation, so probably not worth it. This was only tested on 64-bit linux, seems to work. I'm not sure how to the configure tests should be done: right now the presence of <sys/ioctl.h> is checked, and it is used. If not available, <conio.h> is checked, and used. Otherwise NotImplementedError is thrown. Would be nice to test on a mac and other systems, but I don't have one available at the moment unfortunately. I think that the python part (termsize.py) should be either merged with os.py (or whatever home we find for this function), or rewritten in C in _termsizemodule.c and only imported into os. But since it hasn't yet been decided where this should go, keeping it separate is easier for now. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23981/termsize.diff _______________________________________ 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
