Fair enough, but other people expressed sympathy for the two-function approach :) I'm personally indifferent, although I find "get_terminal_size_raw" a bit ugly and liked "query_terminal_size" better. (and looking up ROWS and COLUMNS make sense, since they are de facto standards) ---------- _______________________________________ 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
