Changed in version 1.6:
Added support for the ncurses
library and
converted to a package.
The curses module provides an interface to the curses
library, the de-facto standard for portable advanced terminal
handling.
While curses is most widely used in the Unix environment, versions
are available for DOS, OS/2, and possibly other systems as well. This
extension module is designed to match the API of ncurses, an
open-source curses library hosted on Linux and the BSD variants of
Unix.
