Pycharm : how-to launch for a standard terminal (to solve an issue with curses)
curses, pycharm, python, python-2.7
Solution
I solved the curses debugging problem by attaching the debugger to a process.
- Start the program in a terminal
- Pycharm -> Tools -> Attach to Process
- Select my prog
- Done
Trying to attach as non-root requires additional ptrace access rights.

On my ubuntu machine: `echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope` (as root)
respectively set `ptrace_scope to 0 in /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf`
Problem
I'm facing a weird problem. Using Pycharm (please do not troll about this fact), I'm trying to launch a short app that uses `ncurses` to render some things on my term. While I can launch the project in a simple term without any problem, launching it from Pycharm raise the following error : ``` File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/curses/__init__.py", line 33, in initscr fd=_sys.__stdout__.fileno()) error: setupterm: could not find terminal Process finished with exit code 0 ``` As far as I can see, all is about terminal environment variables. Pycharm launch the project (Run or Debug) from its own instance of the terminal, and curses will not work with it. So, I am wondering how may I configure Pycharm to launch my project inside a regular terminal. The project is using Python 2.7. Pycharm is in EAP version 129.258 (doesn't work with other versions, including stables) Thanks for your attention. K.
