Python curses

[paulf]

Folks:

I'm trying to write some code in Python's curses module. I've run into
common curses items like A_NORMAL which don't exist. When I do a
print(curses.version), it shows "b 2.2". This tells me that the Debian
(testing) version of python curses is version 2.2. The documentation
for python curses at docs.python.org mentions versions up to 3.10.

Is it really possible that the latest version of Python in Debian
testing is linked to (or however it works) the 2.2 version of Python
curses?

If someone has insights here, I'd be grateful.

Wow. It's exactly what I need since I've started to use a USB switch in
my home office. Assuming it works for me of course. I've thought about
writing a udev rule but haven't gotten around to it.

I've tried to run xmodmap after the keyboard is hot plugged (via telling
the USB switch to switch) but it's like the xmodmap doesn't take even
after I added a delay. Although it seems it worked sometimes. Maybe the
issue is I've tried to run xmodmap from the other computer over ssh, I
don't know.

Nope, that's it. If it was windows it would say something like

In my limited experience, HTTPS-only repositories are actually fairly
common: I've had to enable, at one point or another, apt-cacher-ng
workarounds (such as adding them to a PassThroughPattern) for a bunch
of repositories, including those of WineHQ, Xpra, VScodium, and the Tor
Project.

It should be enough to log out and log in again.

I believe you need to select one of the settings though, if using the
command, like so:

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/activate_action -s switch

(switch works for me).

I second using apt-cacher-ng (acng). I've never configured acng itself,
just the clients, and that is simple and easily scripted.

The only thing it doesn't do is cache https only repositories. Those are
few and far between, and the reason it doesn't is inherent in https, so
I doubt any similar program will cache them. There are ways for clients
to deal with that limitation.

The best solution, IMHO, is to mirror using a tool that is aware of the
specific structure of apt repositories.  Personally, I have had
excellent success with apt-cacher-ng, which functions much like a squid
proxy.  You configure apt-cacher-ng with the sources you like, then you
configure the clients on your network with the same sources but tell
them to use the apt-cacher-ng proxy.  Whenever a package is downloaded,
apt-cacher-ng keeps it around and serves it from the local cache for
subsequent requests.  You are able to configure how much disk space it
uses, how many pervious versions of packages to keep around, etc.

Another possibility seems like it would be apt-mirror.  However, I have
never used it and so I cannot give a specific or detailed
recommendation.

-Roberto
