title: Python curses how to change cursor position with curses.setsyx(y,x)?
body: <p>I am learning how to use curses and I am trying to create a simple program to start off. I am expecting this program to have a q printed in the top left corner always, then it prints the most recently pressed character in 1,1. But I'm not sure how to set the position of the cursor, which should be changed by using the curses.setsyx(y,x) function but it isn't working. Here is my program:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import curses
  import sys,os
  
  def screen_init(stdscr):
      stdscr.clear()
      stdscr.refresh()
      stdscr.scrollok(1)
  
      height, width = stdscr.getmaxyx()
  
      curses.start_color()
      curses.init_pair(1, curses.COLOR_CYAN, curses.COLOR_BLACK)
  
      while True:
              stdscr.addstr(0, 0, "q", curses.color_pair(1))
              key = stdscr.getch()
              stdscr.addstr(1, 1, chr(int(key)), curses.color_pair(1))
              if key == ord('q'):
                      break
              elif key == ord('p'):
                      curses.setsyx(3, 3)
                      curs_y, curs_x = curses.getsyx()
                      curses.doupdate()
                      stdscr.addstr(1, 1, "clicked! " + str(curs_x) + " " + 
  str(curs_y), curses.color_pair(1))
  
      stdscr.refresh()
      curses.endwin()
  
  def main():
      curses.wrapper(screen_init)
  
  if (__name__ == "__main__"):
      main();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas on why it isn't doing anything? When I use getsyx() it gets 3, 3 but the cursor's true position doesn't change</p>
