Did you even *try* his code?  I ran this: 

import termios, fcntl, struct, sys

s = struct.pack("HHHH", 0, 0, 0, 0)
fd_stdout = sys.stdout.fileno()
x = fcntl.ioctl(fd_stdout, termios.TIOCGWINSZ, s)
print '(rows, cols, x pixels, y pixels) =',
print struct.unpack("HHHH", x)

And got this result:

(36, 96, 0, 0)

Looks like a tuple to me.  return 'return' instead of 'print' the result. 
We don't mind helping, but it's nice to know that the user has made some
attempt to understand what is going on before asking for free work to be
done.
