I'm searching a way to change my terminal title with curses.
Actually i do it like that:
sys.stdout.write("\x1b]2;%s\x07" % title)
but i'm searching a more general way to do it.

According to [the mailing list](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2004-04/msg00006.html), there is none (except maybe use `putp()`). – Frédéric Hamidi Apr 30 '14 at 12:51

Yes, I saw that, but this is from 2004, it's a bit old. I was hoping this would be implemented now. :( – detroa Apr 30 '14 at 12:55

Sometimes the 2 needs to be replaced by 0 - see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10919696/change-konsole-title-via-python – cup Apr 30 '14 at 14:00

It's not part of the curses standard. PDCurses has PDC_set_title(), for some of its supported platforms. – William McBrine Apr 30 '14 at 19:54

I find sys.stdout.write fails to update the title at all. @FrédéricHamidi `putp()` just throws `TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'` – Zoey Hewll Oct 02 '16 at 04:34
