From dff52fdb61779ecafa80504d72074ee4c66e03e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Malcolm Smith Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 03:04:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Make `os.get_terminal_size` check `isatty` before calling `ioctl` (GH-154885) Calling ioctl on stdout raises warnings on Android. Ensure we have a TTY before doing terminal size calls.
