However... I just realized that Python's curses support is missing two huge chunks: both menu and form support are not there. I guess that explains why people feel the need to write high-level UI wrappers for Python curses: the high level stuff that curses does support is missing from the Python bindings. Adding a curses UI for my app might not be feasible after all... -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
