Termcap/terminfo for Python?

[Greg Ward]

Does anyone know if there exists an interface to termcap or terminfo for
Python?  I did a Google search for "terminfo python", and the only
vaguely relevant hits were:
  * O'Reilly's *Termcap & Terminfo* book (because O'Reilly's
    sidebar has the word "Python" in it)
  * a post to comp.long.python by Oliver Andrich from 1996

Not a good sign.  Perhaps I'm missing something.  Or am I really the
only person in Python's long and glorious history who has wanted to find
out the width of his terminal?
