I wanted to be able to change the background screen color of a
terminal window using curses. My weak Google-Foo did not turn up a
clear example of how to do this despite much searching. The two
_obvious_curses methods to attempt this seemed to be
window.bkgdset(ch, attr) to initially set a window

I had read this along the way, but had forgotten it.

While reading in chapter 3 of "Learning Python, 5th ed." by Mark Lutz,
I was playing around with reload() in the imp module. In the
interpreter I did a "from imp import reload" and then help(reload).
This had a warning that it was deprecated. After a search online I
found that the entire imp libr

Is int() guaranteed to always return zero as Python

Peter Otten, while responding to one of my questions in the past,

classes, but not the methods
I have been using various iterations of a solitaire scorekeeper
program to explore different programming thoughts. In my latest
musings I am wondering about -- in general -- whether it is best to
store calculated data values in a file and reload these values, or
whether to recalculate such data up
