[issue31951] import curses is broken on windows

2017-11-07 Thread joe m 

joe m  added the comment:

I would much prefer the curses module to be supported in newer versions  since 
I believe that curses is installed as a built in module (not sure about that).

Anyhow, thank you for your help but I have found a replacement module called 
"asciimatics" which for fills all the functions that I really need.

Zachary Ware  added the comment:

Curses is available for Windows from Christopher Gohlke's site: 
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses

We should clean up this situation, though, either by making the state of 
Windows curses support explicit in the docs or by actually adding support for 
it in the default distribution.

Paul Moore  added the comment:

The docs for the curses module say "While curses is most widely used in the 
Unix environment, versions are available for Windows, DOS, and possibly other 
systems as well." This is the only mention of platform support I can see.

It might be worth making the platform support explicit in the docs.

[issue31951] import curses is broken on windows

2017-11-05 Thread joe m 

New submission from joe m :

Importing curses on Windows install calls the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "C:\Users\user 
name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\curses\__init__.py", line 
13, in 
from _curses import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_curses'

Importing curses as "_curses" does the same thing. I have tried the "repair" 
function and it has not worked.
