[New-bugs-announce] [issue31951] import curses is broken on windows

[joe m]

New submission from joe m <iheartpewdsxd at gmail.com>:

Importing curses on Windows install calls the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\curses\__init__.py", line 13, in <module>
    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.
