OK, experimenting with the Linux stty command shows that $ stty echo -nl will restore the terminal to the proper settings. I still haven't figured out how to do it from inside python/curses - that's my next step! Alan G. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Yep, and that applies to my cygwin terminal too. I think there is a setty command you can issue that fixres this but since I hardly ever use curses I can't recall what it is - anyone??? > Finally, I noticed a typo in the example "class Message" in > section Object Oriented Programming. __init__ is written __inti__ > in "def __inti__(self, aString):". OK, Thanks. If you find any more typos send them to me via the mail me link at the bottom of each page - it saves bandwidth on the tutor list (and my embarrasment :-) BTW Which version of the tutor are you reading? The inti bug seems to have been fixed in the latest English version...

Re: [Tutor] Curses example on Linux?
Dear Alan Hi, First of all let me thank you very much for that excellent tutorial. As a Python beginner, I learned many things from that. As I have mentioned in my previous message to this list, in that example I had to replace "ky = msvcrt.getch()" with "ky = chr(msvcrt.getch())". The other problem is that when the program is finished the previous terminal state is not restored (I am using xterm on Linux). Finally, I noticed a typo in the example "class Message" in section Object Oriented Programming. __init__ is written __inti__ in "def __inti__(self, aString):".

Re: [Tutor] Curses example on Linux?
Dear Danny Hi, Many thanks for your help and especially the references in your reply. Now the code works fine. BTW, I had to replace "ky = msvcrt.getch()" with "ky = chr(msvcrt.getch())".

To run it on Linux >> (Redhat 8.0; Python 2.4) the tutorial says to replace 'msvcrt' >> with 'curses.stdscr'. I thought I'd fixed that fault. The sequence should be: import curses mscvrt = curses.initscr() mscvcrt.getch() I will make the changes and upload the fixed file as soon as possible. Thanks for bringing it up.

Hi Hossein, According to: http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/curses/ Alan probably meant to say to replace: ## import msvcrt ## with: ## import curses msvcrt = curses.initscr() ## as a quick hack to replace 'msvcrt' with something that works on Linux. It sounded that you wanted to look at other examples of curses programming? A long time ago, I wrote a quick-and-dirty demo program that uses curses here: http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/python/circularwriting.py Good luck to you! ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
