window.attrset(attr) Set the “background” set of attributes to attr. This set is initially 0 (no attributes).

window.addstr(str[, attr]) window.addstr(y, x, str[, attr]) Paint the string str at (y, x) with attributes attr, overwriting anything previously on the display.

curses.version A string representing the current version of the module. Also available as __version__.

window.addch(ch[, attr]) window.addch(y, x, ch[, attr]) Note A character means a C character (an ASCII code), rather than a Python character (a string of length 1). (This note is true whenever the documentation mentions a character.) The built-in ord() is handy for conveying strings to codes. Paint character ch at (y, x) with attributes attr, overwriting any character previously painter at that location. By default, the character position and attributes are the current settings for the wind

window.addnstr(str, n[, attr]) window.addnstr(y, x, str, n[, attr]) Paint at most n characters of the string str at (y, x) with attributes attr, overwriting anything previously on the display.

curses.update_lines_cols() Update LINES and COLS. Useful for detecting manual screen resize. New in version 3.5.

curses.use_env(flag) If used, this function should be called before initscr() or newterm are called. When flag is False, the values of lines and columns specified in the terminfo database will be used, even if environment variables LINES and COLUMNS (used by default) are set, or if curses is running in a window (in which case default behavior would be to use the window size if LINES and COLUMNS are not set).

curses.use_default_colors() Allow use of default values for colors on terminals supporting this feature. Use this to support transparency in your application. The default color is assigned to the color number -1. After calling this function, init_pair(x, curses.COLOR_RED, -1) initializes, for instance, color pair x to a red foreground color on the default background.

curses.ungetch(ch) Push ch so the next getch() will return it. Note Only one ch can be pushed before getch() is called.

curses.ungetmouse(id, x, y, z, bstate) Push a KEY_MOUSE event onto the input queue, associating the given state data with it.
