More precisely, curses doesn't work natively on Windows, regardless of whether Python is involved. As with many "how do I get Unix feature foo on Windows?", one answer is to download and install Cygwin <URL:http://www.cygwin.com/>. This gives you a Unix-like environment where you can run a great many applications, including ones that depend on curses. For working with curses in Python you might find the Urwid library helpful. <URL:http://excess.org/urwid/> -- \ "I was in a bar the other night, hopping from barstool to | `\ barstool, trying to get lucky, but there wasn't any gum under | _o__) any of them." -- Emo Philips | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
