The curses module doesn't expose tiparm, but you can use tparm
instead:
#!/usr/bin/python
import curses,sys
curses.setupterm()
write = sys.stdout.write
bold = curses.tigetstr('bold').decode('ascii')
norm = curses.tigetstr('sgr0').decode('ascii')
cls = curses.tigetstr('clear').decode('ascii')
cup = curses.tigetstr('cup')
def goto(row,column):
write(curses.tparm(cup,row,column).decode('ascii'))
def clear():
write(cls)
clear()
name = input("enter name: ")
for row in [3,5,10,20]:
goto(row, row+5)
write(f'{bold}Hi there {name}{norm}')
goto(row+1, row+6)
write(f'Hi there {name}')
goto(24,0)
input("press enter to exit: ")
clear()
