python - curses: Straight line with last color at the bottom of the window in windows cmd

Question

When I run this python code via windows cmd.exe to output colored text

import curses

def main(stdscr):
    curses.init_pair(1, 200, 100)
    stdscr.addstr("test ", curses.color_pair(1))
    stdscr.getch()

curses.wrapper(main)

I get this unselectable line at the bottom of the window:

Any idea on how to remove it?

Answer 1

I would start with a stdscr.clear() (if you need to clear the screen)

But you should add a stdscr.refresh() between your addstr() and the getch()

And as said by T3ERR0R, don't forget the curses.endwin() before the end of your script.
