thanks, actually i'm writing a game like mine,the pertainign code is: def mark(): """mark the bomb""" (row, col) = gb.scrn.getyx() x = gb.scrn.inch(row,col) if x == 'F': gb.scrn.addch(row,col, 'X',curses.color_pair(3)) else: gb.scrn.addch(row,col, 'F',curses.color_pair(3)) gb.scrn.move(row,col) gb.scrn.refresh() the situation is x never equals 'F', even when it really is! I checked the mannual and found the return value of inch() consists the actual character(low 8bits) and the attributes, so I tried the following: (x<<24)>>24,cause I guess the int is 32bits long. but it still doesn't work :( -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
