   curses.tigetflag
   curses.tigetnum
   curses.tigetstr

Example:

phd at phd 1 >> python
Python 2.1.1 (#1, Aug  8 2001, 19:17:29)
[GCC 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import curses
>>> curses.setupterm()
>>> curses.tigetstr("khome")
'\x1b[1~'

   I don't know which attributes describe width/height of a terminal.

Oleg.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
