Python Curses iniscr() without Clearing Screen?

Question

For Python 2.7, is there a way to initialize curses without have the screen blank/clear? Right now I am using

stdscr = curses.initscr()

Answer 1

No. The python curses library is built on the curses/ncurses library. initscr always clears the screen so the library starts with the screen in a known state (empty).
