Probably. I don't remember seeing a python module for them.

Then things (besides your program) won't work.

Depending on what you're tring to do, slang might be an option,
but I don't think there's a Python binding. There is a
(largely unsupported) Python binding for the "newt" widget set
that runs on top of slang. The old text-mode "red dialog
windows on a blue background" RedHat installer and admin apps
were written in Python using the newt widget library. The
"newt" Python module is called "snack".
