If you have gcc, you might also have a shell (bash on Linux, other Unix
shells or CygWin in Windows) and make.  Get the source. Untar.  Edit
Modules/Setup - find and uncomment the line

_curses _cursesmodule.c -lcurses -ltermcap

Then ./configure; make; make install (follow the instructions that come with
the source).  You have to have curses library installed, though, which is
default on most unices.  

I use the curses module in Python and it's quite easy.
