Trying to get a simple learning program working. It works fine except I see a cursor(which I don't want). I have tried noecho and leaveok but both don't seem to make a difference.

My python is primitive but here goes:

import curses
screen = curses.initscr()
curses.noecho()

screen.box()
screen.leaveok(1)

x=4
y=4
while 1:
      screen.addch(y, x, "@")
      c = screen.getch()
      if c==ord('j'): y=y+1
      elif c==ord('k'): y=y-1
      elif c==ord('h'): x=x-1
      elif c==ord('l'): x=x+1
      elif c == ord('q'): break

Running the program just creates a box and you move around a '@' using vi keys. But the program shows a @ symbol with a blocky cursor always to the right of it.

I have googled I have read, no luck. Help.

Edit: added [CODE] tags...

Try curses.curs_set(0) to remove the cursor.

OK, I could have swore I tried that before but received an attribute error.

But it works now, so I must have had a typo, so confused.

But my sincere thanks.

Those of you on windows (me included) may be interested in the wCursors module...

Basically this module seems to be a clone of Pythons core cursor module for windows

Mark.
