The following python code seems to expose a bug in curses library on OS X. As far as I can tell this is a problem with the curses library itself, rather than the python wrapper or the terminal applications. The following python code attempts to print the size of the terminal. On a linux system the size of the terminal is updated as a terminal window is resized. However, on an OS X system, the size reported by the following code is always the size of the terminal when the program was executed.
Perhaps your terminal has set $LINES and $COLUMNS variables (commonly done with termcap-oriented systems). -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
