Agreed. I tried to use ctypes to call tputs with a Python callback that wrote to sys.stdout, but was unable to get it to work. FWIW, I've written up notes on the problem and provided demos of various solutions: https://github.com/GrantEdwards/Python-curses-and-terminfo -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
