调整curses 终端的大小不会调整程序窗口的大小

Question

I'm on Windows, where the curses module is not native, so I am using the Windows curses module for python 3.2, found here .

My goal is to resize the terminal, which is currently at a small 25 lines x 80 columns size. First I tried the curses.resizeterm(lines, cols) command, which is apparently not found in the windows curses module (and hasattr(curses, 'resizeterm') returned false). So I look at the alternative module unicurses, which is also for windows, but that doesn't even have a resize command.

So I do more reading and learn about the environment variables 'LINES' and 'COLS' which, when set by os.environ , should resize the terminal. And they do, kind of. The terminal itself gets resized, but the Windows program displaying the terminal is still the same size as before, 25 x 80. I have confirmed that the two variables have indeed been changed, writing a little thing to display them in the top left corner. In addition, the box() function does draw a border around the screen as if it the variables were changed.

So, can anyone explain either 1) how to resize the "Windows window" to match the terminal or 2) how to get resizeterm() to work on my python installation? The relevant code of my program and a picture of how it looks are attached below.

import random, sys, math, curses, os
from curses import *

curses.use_env(True)
os.environ['LINES'] = "80"
os.environ['COLS'] = "60"

stdscr = curses.initscr()
curses.noecho()
curses.cbreak()
curses.start_color()
stdscr.keypad(1)
curses.curs_set(0)

LINES, COLS = stdscr.getmaxyx()

Answer 1

This code might help:

 import curses

 screen = curses.initscr()

 # Check if screen was re-sized (True or False)
 resize = curses.is_term_resized(y, x)

 # Action in loop if resize is True:
 if resize is True:
     y, x = screen.getmaxyx()
     screen.clear()
     curses.resizeterm(y, x)
     screen.refresh()
