[Python-Dev] Issue2889: Add Curses for Windows as native module for 2.6

Does anyone would like to include Curses support in Windows from version
2.6?
It works ok already using the patch from issue #2889 and PDCurses library,
but needs expertise of core developers to integrate the patch into the build
system, add library to externals to ship next windows Python with embedded
curses support.

I would really like to see this as release blocker, because the problem
raised once in a while in the past and the windows people who are interested
in getting console interface tools usually lack the knowledge of unix
platform to do the task.

P.S. It is all about cross-platform roguelikes and text-mode players in
Python
