I don't see how it deals with terminfo strings that have delay specifiers in them (e.g. vt100). Those delay specifiers need to be replaced by 0 or more 'pad' characters (default is NUL, but that too can be specified in the terminfo file). My initial plan was to call ncurses tputs() function and pass it a 'putchar' callback that passes the output bytes to sys.stdout.buffer.write(). I haven't gotten that working yet (it's going to require some cytyptes magic). -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
