Look for CDK, Curses Development Kit, at:

http://www.vexus.ca/CDK.html

I don't know though it is has a binding to Python, but it should be fairly easy
to add one using SWIG.

You can also try searching comp.lang.python, I remember somebody posted a
message a few months ago about a similar work done entirely in Python.

Hope this helps,
Ovidiu
