问题
I'd like to code a command line program that result in this UI:
------------
| |
| A |
|__________|
|_____B____|
A is a separate process that loops and displays a list of real time events. It self-refresh.
B is a command prompt. It's fixed at the bottom and got a command history.
I know some command line IRC programs does this so it must be possible.
Bonus point if you can give me a snippet using a Python binding.
I'm aware of this post but I'm kind of lost in the curse documentation.

Enventually I tried to do it with urwid which is way higher level than ncurse.
I asked a question about it on SO and didn't got more results.
But eventually I found some FOSS that did just that, I used the source code and made something that worked. You can find the answer in the related question.

Have a look at the /Demo/curses/ directory of the python source code. It lists several intersting examples using the curses module that you can learn all you need from, and some more.

For posterity - this is a great implementation of the architecture you desire, written with urwid (an ncurses wrapper): http://zderadicka.eu/terminal-interfaces-in-python/#comment-123799
It took some tweaking to turn it into a chat client, but it's pretty simple to do so with pipes. The author's code is on github: https://github.com/izderadicka/xmpp-tester/blob/master/commander.py
