For example, let's see what is the size of my two xterms: >>> os.get_terminal_size_raw() os.terminal_size(columns=125, rows=39) >>> fd = os.open('/proc/22736/fd/1', os.O_RDONLY) >>> fd 6 >>> os.get_terminal_size_raw(6) os.terminal_size(columns=95, rows=33) I'm not saying that this serves a clear purpose, but it is possible and it is good not the restrain the API. I'm sure somebody could find a use for it. >> - two functions: still there.

Please look at my comment above: http://bugs.python.org/issue13609#msg149620 $COLUMNS is only used for overriding -- it normally _isn't_ set. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13609> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
