Support blinking text?

Asked by snafu

On xterm this snippet works, but not in terminator:

import curses

def blink(s):
    curses.setupterm()
    BLINK = curses.tigetstr('blink')
    NORMAL = curses.tigetstr('sgr0')
    return BLINK + s + NORMAL

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print blink('I should blink')

It seems that libvte does not include this feature.

But perhaps you will find a way to implement this on your own? :)

I'm pretty sure that there's no way for us to support that without VTE supporting it, sorry!

VTE 0.52 will support blinking text.

Can you help with this problem?
