Summary: import curses fails
Initial Comment:
I am new to python and teaching myself.
I downloaded and installed python 2.5 for windows from the main page, accepting all defaults.
python is installed in c:\Python25
I am able to import everything else I have tried sucessfully. "sys", "os", self written code.
There is a "curses" subfolder in the c:\Python25\Lib folder it contains
.py versions of all of the following files
__init__
ascii
has_key
panel
textpad
wrapper
The documentation includes curses in the "Generic Operating System Services"
>From what I have read this should indicate that can uses curses in windows (even though this was not the case in previous versions of python).
When I attempt to "import curses" I get the following result.
>>> import curses
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
import curses
File "C:\Python25\Lib\curses\__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
from _curses import *
ImportError: No module named _curses
I am unsure if this is an error in documentation and curses does not in fact work with windows or if there is an error in the default windows installation.
