Problem is not with Python, but with missing the piece that the curses
module depends on: curses itself.

I haven't seen anything recently that indicates curses-on-Windows
available cleanly.  There was a console application noted here not too
long ago that might be usable; the GNU project page for curses
indicates that a solid Windows port is still a whishlist item.
Nonetheless, vim works very well on Windows so someone out there has
presumably done the necessary work.
