Summary: curses module is missing some color vars
Initial Comment:
The _curses modules doesn't define COLORS or COLOR_PAIRS until after start_color() is called.
Adding a start_color() wrapper to curses/__init__.py along the same lines as the wrapper around initscr() fixes this.
(And I don't knowof or use any other variables that get dynamically added...)
def start_color():
import _curses, curses
# This import is from the initscr() wrapper
val = _curses.start_color()
if _curses.__dict__.has_key('COLOR_PAIRS'):
curses.COLOR_PAIRS = _curses.COLOR_PAIRS
if _curses.__dict__.has_key('COLORS'):
curses.COLORS = _curses.COLORS
return val
-------
# Or, it's simple avoid the import in a function-level scope...
# If this version is used, then the initscr() wrapper should probably be changed to match.
import sys
def start_color():
# If this code gets called, then these modules are guaranteed to exist:
curses = sys.module['curses']
_curses = sys.module['_curses']
val = _curses.start_color()
if _curses.__dict__.has_key('COLOR_PAIRS'):
curses.COLOR_PAIRS = _curses.COLOR_PAIRS
if _curses.__dict__.has_key('COLORS'):
curses.COLORS = _curses.COLORS
return val
