I did the same installation of Python2.4 on a different computer with Fedora2 and found there the _curses.so and _curses_panel.so in lib-dynload, which I missed in SuSE Linux, although under SuSE the curses package was present in Lib. I don't understand this strange behavior between the two installations. After having the 2 mentioned static libs transfered from the "Fedora computer" to the the "SuSE computer" the curses worked fine under SuSE linux
