I am taking a step back, and just get something simple working with ANSI.
The following code works (creates the ANSI terminal object, and inserts a
few characters, and scrap the characters back).
import ANSI
crt = ANSI.ANSI(25,80)
crt.insert_abs(2,2,"a")
crt.insert_abs(3,10,"b")
crt.insert_abs(5,5,"z")
print crt.get_region(1, 1, 5, 10)
But if I try to print something to the screen, the ANSI terminal doesn't
capture anything.
import ANSI
import os
crt = ANSI.ANSI(25,80)
crt.insert_abs(2,2,"a")
crt.insert_abs(3,10,"b")
crt.insert_abs(5,5,"z")
head_output = os.system("head -n 10 long_text_file.txt")
print head_output
print crt.get_region(1, 1, 5, 10)
How can I get the head output into the ANSI terminal? My example code is
similar to the the usage example from the link below. Yet ANSI is not
scraping the screen. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.
