Summary: curses causes interpreter crash

Initial Comment:
[submitted to http://bugs.debian.org/175589 ]

A call to curses.initscr() that fails because of an
error (such as TERM not being set) causes the program
to exit.  No exception thrown, no error returned -- an
EXIT.  There is very anti-Pythonic and, at minimum,
should be documented.
