Andreas Stührk <andy-pyt...@hammerhartes.de> added the comment: That behaviour is indeed caused by ncurses as it changes the buffer size of stdio. The rationale behind that is explained in a comment in ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c (http://codesearch.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#5KTrgOW2hXs/pub/nslu2/sources/ncurses-5.4.tar.gz%7CqZkYBenqdbw/ncurses-5.4/ncurses/tinfo/setbuf.c&l=46)
That behaviour is also mentioned in the man-page of ncurses and one can disable it using the NCURSES_NO_SETBUF environment variable. If I set that environment variable, the example behaves as expected on my machine. ---------- nosy: +Trundle _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10144> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
