sorry, missed the "also".  googling for "python curses windows" (without the
quotes) brings up a couple of hits, including:

    http://flangy.com/dev/python/curses/

might or might not work with the latest python.

on the other hand, you could restrict yourself to using only a subset of curses,
and write some glue code to map the functions in that subset to console calls.
creating custom abstraction layers in Python is embarassingly easy...
