A bit more exploration and I've got a C version of the same program
to work (I'll spare you the #includes!):
int main(void){
char line[20];
int err = 0;
char *clr;
char *bold;
setupterm("xterm",1, &err);
clr = tigetstr("clear");
bold = tigetstr("bold");
putp(clr);
putp(bold);
printf("Enter a name: ");
fgets(line, sizeof(line),stdin);
printf("Hello %s\n", line);
exit(0);
}
So the native C functions work as expected.
Why does the Python wrapper not?
