Add the X/Open Curses SCREEN API for driving more than one terminal: newterm() and set_term(), plus the ncurses extension new_prescr(). A new screen object wraps the C SCREEN. It exposes the terminal's standard window as screen.stdscr. Each window keeps a reference to its screen (like a subwindow does to its parent window), so the screen is deleted automatically once it and all of its windows are unreferenced. The ncurses use_screen()/use_window() locking helpers are exposed as the screen.use() and window.use() methods. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Python C API ================ The C API is divided into these sections: 1. ``Include/``: Limited API 2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details 3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can change between minor releases 4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_ .. _in the developer guide: https://devguide.python.org/c-api/
