Curses, Ncurses, Slang, etc?

[Eric Kidd]

From: Eric Kidd <eric.kidd at pobox.com>

I'd like to write a Python application which uses either curses, ncurses,
slang or a similar tty interface library. Unfortunately, the built-in
curses module is hopeless broken on my RedHat 6.0 system (it doesn't export
'addch', for example).

Neither the ncurses module or the pwin module work out of the box on my
Linux system. Are there any well-supported Python modules for
curses/ncurses/slang which do work out of the box?

Thank you for any help you can provide!

Cheers,
Eric
