Hi,

Could any one help me with this python code,
Why it doesn't print the A? on an xterm

It should work according to the docs
http://docs.python.org/library/curses.h … ses.newpad

Regards

import curses

if __name__="__main__":
      #initializing screen
      screen = curses.initscr()
      curses.noecho()
      curses.cbreak() #respond to keys inmidiatly


      pad = curses.newpad(10,10)
      pad.addch(1,1,'A')
      pad.refresh(0,0,0,0,10,10)
      screen.refresh()

       screen.getch()
      #finalizing screen
      curses.nocbreak()
      curses.echo()
      curses.endwin()

Refresh the screen window first, then the pad. You need to draw from the bottom layer up.

No problem. Curses in python is pretty cool. I'm using it myself at the moment. Check out curses.wrapper[1]. It makes it much easier to debug your application when it starts throwwing exceptions.
