But most of the curses module is really a C wrapper around ncurses, isn't it? He's not going to learn a lot about curses implementation from that Python code. Also, keep in mind that a new curses-like interface isn't generally useful until it's tested and works on a gazillion different terminals. Most of them are not available to most of us, but people who have one still expect full-screen applications to Just Work on it. /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn <grahn@ Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu \X/ snipabacken.se> R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
