kernel restart when "option, index = pick(options, title)" about pick HOT 4 CLOSED

I have no idea because I don't have a windows computer. Can you still reproduce this?

from pick.

Hi @wong2, I suspect I'm running into the same problem.

Minimum working example:

from pick import pick

testpick = ['test1', 'test2', 'test3']
a,b = pick(testpick, 'Test Pick')

This produces the error when the pick() function is called:

LINES value must be >= 2 and <= 132: got -38521
initscr(): Unable to create SP

I'm running Python 3.7 (32-bit) on Windows 10 and using Visual Studio 2019 as an IDE.

If I re-run the MWE above, the "got" number is different every time.

from pick.

@InvisibleWaves according to a comment from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70084286/lines-value-must-be-2-and-168-got-1-initscr-unable-to-create-sp

curses is generally not going to work from within an IDE - try running it directly from a terminal window.

from pick.

Close as IDE terminals are not supported.
