 Thank you.

 I tried everything in my test script.
 win.leaveok() - no effect
 curses.cur_vis() - no effect
 win.scrollok() - start newline and place cursor on it

 It's only one last option:
 on last line last char try/except with pass.

I doubt this is a Python 2 or Python 3 problem; historically some terminal
types curses supports could not fill the lower right-most character cell
without causing an undesired scroll of the screen by one line.  So portable
curses programs avoid filling that spot with anything.

Python3 curses behavior

2013-02-09 Thread Vlasov Vitaly
Hello.

I found strange behavior of curses module, that i can't understand. I 
initialize screen with curses.initscr(), then i create subwin of screen with 
screen.subwin(my_subwin_sizes). After that i fill subwin with my_char in 
for-loop. On last char in last line subwin.addch() raises exception.

This is my problem. Why? How to fix it?

(If i will ignore exception, then last char will be displayed)

What exception is being raised? That's kinda the most important part here :)
