you only need the imports to work?

alternative 1: wrap the imports in try/except:

    try:
        import curses
    except ImportError:
        curses = None # let's hope nobody uses this

alternative 2: add python stub modules:

    > more curses.py
    # empty

if you decide that you want console output after all, you
could consider alternative 3: write a curses-compatible
wrapper for
