Anyone know how to get WConio.putch() to properly put out a box drawing character to the screen in the while at a cmd prompt? The code page is 437, but it when I tell it to put out 188, for example, it get a 1/4 character instead of the box drawing character. <br>
<br>I am using WConio.putch(188)<br><br>I have it WConio through the whole 0 thru 256 range <br>import WConio<br>for i in range(0,257):<br> WConio.putch(i)<br><br>and get:<br><br>♫☼►◄↕‼¶§▬↨↑↓→←∟↔▲▼ !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~⌂??????????????????<br>

For more complex stuff, (think blue screens with little white boxes<br>
you press spacebar to activate. Kind of like an OS installer) I would<br>
look into the `curses` module in the standard library?<br>

curses on Unix but its not in the std library for windows.<br>
<br>
I think there is a version you can download, and there are also<br>
libraries specifically for the PC terminal, one that I've used<br>
successfully being Wconio, based on the Borland Turbo-C<br>
console I/O package conio.h.<br>
<br>
Conio is on Sourceforge.<br>
