Fine, indeed ! I've installed cs.ttyy.
I just don't understand the reason why it takes "fd" as an argument.
"fd" may be a file descriptor or a file (from which it gets the
underlying fd).
I tried : P = Popen(['stty', '-a'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
universal_newlines=True) and it runs fine too, so the output seems not
really related to that fd.
But it is! stty(1) fetches the terminal settings from its standard
input, so "fd" is used to supply this. In your Popen test case you
simply don't set the stdin parameter, so it is the Python process'
input. Which is usually what you want. But I want to be able to ask this
of any terminal file, thus the parameter.
Just pass 0 to ttysize, or sys.stdin. Arguably that should be a default
value.
Btw I did not know about namedtuple, thanks for that too.
Yes, it is very handy.
