[issue24966] shutil.get_terminal_size() throws ValueError if stdout is detached, no fallback

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

So, the problem is needing to compensate for a broken (according to posix) locale setup.  I don't think quieting get_terminal_size is necessarily the answer here.  See issue 19846 for more than you want to know about the ASCII locale issue.

See also issue 15216, which is probably a solution to your problem, but is an open issue.
