Trouble with curses module in terminalemulator

[Iñigo Serna]

Hello Teo,

basically, the problem comes from terminal configuration.
'curses.KEY_ENTER' key code is not the same that is generated on your
terminal when you hit enter key.
Check python-list archives for a mail from Rainy titled 'curses woes' on
date July 10 2001 10:11 for a more detailed explanation.

I hope this helps you,

Iñigo Serna
