 Not sure what you mean by global, but ncurses turns your console
into a matrix of x,y positions. It was widely used to provide a console
interface to cli programs in the 90s, (I am reminded of my old favorite
program "mikmod" for playing module music), but much less used
now a days.

I didn't read your post fully. If you want to generate clicks anywhere on
desktop, ncurses won't work since it is tied to a terminal.

You could try something like
http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/

See some discussion of this on
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2676434/x11-how-to-raise-another-applications-window-using-python

Regarding ncurses, yes it will work on any console/terminal which supporse
curses.
That includes darwin (mac os x) and cygwin on windows. But of course not the
DOS terminal.
