As the OP I'm really interested in doing so. I currently have all my 
colors hard-coded.
Now It may be lame but as soon as I call curses.initscr(), it's just 
messing up with my terminal, moreover I didn't figure out how to "print  
'hello'" using curses color codes.
Anyone has an example ? I'm pretty sure it may fit in one line.
