curses and python (linux, debian)

[Guido]

Hello

I'm new to python and i'm trying to write a script 
that shows a menu.

Now, I have some troubles with curses.setsyx()

I do:

import curses

curses.setsyx(2, 20)
curses.putp("TEST TITLE")
curses.setsyx(25, 35)
curses.putp("TEST CENTER")
curses.setsyx(12, 35)
curses.putp("TEST CENTER")

but it just prints all the string after each other 
at the first lines..

can anybody help me please?

thx!
