OK, Using inch() I've written the following function: def attr_get(win): """ return current window attributes. If a character exists at the bottom right position it will be lost! """ y,x = win.getmaxyx() # how many lines in the window? win.insch(y-1,0,' ') # insert a space at bottom left ch = win.inch(y-1,0) # now read the char (including attributes) win.delch(y-1,0) # remove the char from window return ch And it can be used like: import curses scr = curses.initscr() # uncomment next line to test # scr.attrset(curses.A_UNDERLINE) atts = attr_get(scr) if atts & cur.A_UNDERLINE: scr.addstr("Underline is on") else: scr.addstr("Underline is off") scr.refresh() scr.getch() curses.endwin() Just in case its useful to anyone else... -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
