As I already wrote, I would prefer a very simple os.get_terminal_size() function: don't read environment varaiables, use a simple tuple instead of a new type, and raise an error if the size cannot be read (so no need of default values). The os module is written as a thin wrapper between Python and the OS. A more high level function (read environment variables, handle the error, use a namedtuple) can be written in your application, or maybe in another module.

This is just my opinion, other core developers may prefer your version :-)
