PyCurses MousClick

Question

self.stdscr = stdscr
self.initialize(**object_dict)
self.map_all_colors()
self.draw_all_views()
curses.curs_set(0) 
stdscr.keypad(1) 
curses.mousemask(1)
curses.mousemask(curses.ALL_MOUSE_EVENTS)
# Once self.interact(..) returns a value, program will end.
# This is also the *start* of any pycurses project.
while True:
    keypress = self.children[0].window.getch()
    log_t(str(keypress))
    if keypress == curses.KEY_MOUSE:
        _, x, y, _, _ = curses.getmouse()
        self.children[0].handle_mouse_click(x, y)
    else:
        response = self.interact(keypress)
        if not response:
            return 0

The logs indicate when the mouse is clicked, keypress returns '27' and then proceeds to move on and call self.interact() instead. how do I fix this?

I read a lot of forums, and even the documentation. Nothing works.

Getting mouse access involves not only setting the mousemask, but enabling keypad, which you have not done. Add this after the initialize call and it will work:

self.children[0].window.keypad(1)
