curses is not imported under Linux (and Python 2.4)

Thanks for your hint.

see above, but I did not exclude anything, it was a totally normal
run.
I did the same installation of Python2.4 on a different computer with
Fedora2 and found there  the  _curses.so and  _curses_panel.so in
lib-dynload, which I missed in SuSE Linux, although under SuSE the
curses package was present in Lib. I don't understand this strange
behavior between the two installations.
After having the 2 mentioned static libs transfered from the "Fedora
computer"  to the the  "SuSE computer"  the curses worked fine under
SuSE linux
