I didn't get any error and my version didn't build with _curses:

Python 2.2b2 (#1, Dec  2 2001, 12:13:01)
[GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on darwin5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import curses
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/curses/__init__.py", line 15, in ?
    from _curses import *
ImportError: No module named _curses


But I also don't have readline enabled -- I haven't reinstalled
some libraries since I installed 10.1 .  I'll put it back and see
what happens.
