Use curses.setupterm() to locate and parse the terminfo/termcap entry
without entering "curses mode". Most curses functions won't work without
calling initscr(), but the terminfo functions will.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import curses
curses.setupterm()
setaf = curses.tigetstr('setaf')
if not setaf:
setaf = ''
print (curses.tparm(setaf,1) + "hello, " +
curses.tparm(setaf,2) + "world" +
curses.tparm(setaf,0))
