import curses from time import sleep scr=vurses.initscr() population=0 seconds=0 try: scr.nodelay(1) scr.leaveok(0) max_y, max_x = scr.getmaxyx() while scr.getch()== -1: sleep(1) seconds=seconds+1 population=population+2.5 scr.addstr(0,0,"seconds:",seconds") # i would like to get this bottom left but didn't know how scr.sddch(1,0,population) # here is ware i think I'm having problems also would like this to be centered scr.clear() scr.refresh() finaly: curses.endwin() but i get the error: traceback (most recent call last): file "population.py", line 15, in <module> scr.addch(1,0,population) TypeError: argument 1 or 3 must be a ch or an int thank you _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
