TERM=dumb
It's very easy to reproduce : take a Xubuntu i386 10.10 CD, and install
it with an unplugged internet connection (or without the package
updates, as the fix for Bug #621927 has been released, but didn't catch
my mirror). Reboot, run the xfce terminal (default terminal in xubuntu),
apt-get install dstat, then run dstat....

I don't know Python, but I can some suggest 2 fixes :
1. you can change the message to "Color support is disabled, python-
curses is not installed, not working, or TERM $env{'TERM'} not
recognized".
2. Something like that (like that, as I said, I don't the Python
langage) :
def gettermcolor(color=True):
"Return whether the system can use colors or not"
if color and sys.stdout.isatty():
try:
import curses
except:
print >>sys.stderr, 'Color support is disabled, python-curses is
not installed.'
return False
try:
curses.setupterm()
if curses.tigetnum('colors') < 0:
return False
except:
print >>sys.stderr, 'Color support is disabled; TERM=$ENV{'TERM'}
not recognized, or python-curses is not working.'
return False
return color
