shutils.get_terminal_size()

[DeaD_EyE]

Just google for it how many terminal emulators does exits. Count how many shells (sh, bash, csh, zsh, ...) we do have. And count all distributions.

Then you can calculate the possible combinations of everything:
terminals * shells * distros = many different standards

I guess it's nearly impossible to do it right, because there is no clear strict definition of only one standard.
We have many standards and the libraries have to handle this correct.

So every time, when your problem was solved by another programmer, you should give him a hug.
Ok, you can stop :-D
