eryksun added the comment: FYI, the size of the terminal associated with the C's stdout isn't related to the IDLE shell. For example, in Linux when I run IDLE from the GUI, the associated terminal size is 0x0.
On Windows, os.get_terminal_size uses the console API GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo. This can't work given IDLE has no attached console. Also, for a GUI app the Windows C runtime leaves the standard FILE streams uninitialized to an invalid file descriptor (-1), so Python's sys.__stdout__ is None. That's why you get an AttributeError complaining that NoneType (i.e. type(None)) has no attribute 'fileno'. Currently shutil.get_terminal_size returns the fallback size when os.get_terminal_size(sys.__stdout__.fileno()) raises NameError or OSError. I think AttributeError and ValueError should be added to this list. ---------- components: +Windows -IDLE nosy: +eryksun, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware versions: +Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24920> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
