Incidentally, I noticed something about the environment: in my script, I use the LINES and COLUMNS environment vars that are set in my shell:
columns=int(os.environ.get("COLUMNS"))
lines=int(os.environ.get("LINES"))
In the shell, I get
$ echo $LINES $COLUMNS
89 199
but python doesn't get these values. I have to start the script with
$ LINES=$LINES COLUMNS=$COLUMNS ./sort_entries.py
How come?
