screen size when editing python - Skaperen - May-11-2017
what screen size do coders here have? i have increased my size by moving to a smaller font to better accommodate some cloud facility output. my 2-window side-by-side size is now 91x51 (was 82x46). the 1-window size is 184x51 but i can work with the 2-window size more often, now. i do try to follow PEP008 recently, but it can be a little harder now to keep line widths under 80 or 72. it would be nice if the editor helped better in this regard.

On windows you can use:
from win32api import GetSystemMetrics Width = GetSystemMetrics(0) Height = GetSystemMetrics(1)Not sure on Linux

what i am wanting to know is what your screen size is. and that of other people here, too.
but i do have the following code for Linux. i don't have Windows to try it on.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import print_function
import fcntl,struct,sys,termios
def get_terminal_geometry(fd=0):
"""get current terminal geometry (width,height)"""
global width,height
try:
height,width=struct.unpack('4H',fcntl.ioctl(fd,
termios.TIOCGWINSZ,struct.pack('4H',0,0,0,0)))[:2]
except:
height,width=None,None
if height==None:
try:
fd=os.open('/dev/tty',os.O_WRONLY)
height,width=struct.unpack('4H',fcntl.ioctl(fd,
termios.TIOCGWINSZ,struct.pack('4H',0,0,0,0)))[:2]
os.close(fd)
del fd
except:
height,width=None,None
return (width,height)
width,height=0,0
get_terminal_geometry(0)
def main(args):
"""command to output terminal geometry"""
get_terminal_geometry()
print(repr(width),'x',repr(height))
return 0
if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
result=main(sys.argv)
sys.stdout.flush()
except BrokenPipeError:
result=99
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print('')
result=98
if result is 0 or result is None or result is True:
exit(0)
if result is 1 or result is False:
exit(1)
if isinstance(result,str):
print(result,file=sys.stderr)
exit(2)
try:
exit(int(result))
except ValueError:
print(str(result),file=sys.stderr)
exit(3)
except TypeError:
exit(4)
# EOFthe above is usable as a command or i can do stty -a to get the geometry info and lots more.

My usual editor or terminal windows are around 132 chars wide (my screen would allow about twice that).
RE: screen size when editing python - wavic - May-11-2017
rows 59; columns 213;

No size set,have set guide line at 93 character in Atom.
I agree with Raymond Hettinger' talk "Beyond pep-8",that sometime can 90'ish be okay.
This is if it's unnatural to break a line to get down to 79 characters.
A link to the new CSS styled PEP-8 bye Kenneth Reitz,
for those that have not seen it yet.

Actually, I don't care too much how long the line will be.
I will not sacrifice the readability for some rules.

there is that bit about "A Foolish Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Little Minds" which gives 4 "good reasons to ignore a particular guideline". i have been experimenting lately with regard to readability and long lines. i have much code going each way.

so your screen is in the range of 264+ ... enough to have 3 windows wide at the size of 80 characters wide or a bit more.
FYI, i use a script named "e" to start editing a file. it unsets the DISPLAY environment variable so the editor operates in the shell terminal window. i do this for consistency across many ssh sessions.
my "e" script make a backup each time i use it. actually that is done per-file since it supports multiple files per command.

This is a bit late, but found this package which works on windows, cygwin, X11, and osx the package was posted last month
from screeninfo import get_monitorson windows 7 I use it as follows
m = str(get_monitors()[0])
m1 = re.sub("[x+]", ',', str(m[m.index('(') + 1:].strip(')'))).split(',')
# list also has offsets in m1[2] and m1[3]
self.screen_width = int(m1[0])
self.screen_height = int(m1[1])
print('self.screen_width: {}, self.screen_height: {}'
.format(self.screen_width, self.screen_height))result: Output:self.screen_width: 1920, self.screen_height: 1080RE: screen size when editing python - sparkz_alot - May-23-2017
I also do not have a set size. When playing with Python I might, at most have four apps open: cmd terminal, IDE, browser and notepad++. The terminal fits nicely above notepad++, IDE in the middle and browser at the far right.
