There's a really good chance that this is because _tkinter isn't 
installed. You say later "it is installed", but is it installed for the 
  right Python, and the right version?

Here's how to make sure:
- Start Package Manager
- To forestall another bug, select the "show hidden packages" checkmark
- Check whether the _tkinter line says "installed". If it doesn't: 
select it, press Install.
- If you get an error message about TclTkAqua: select that package and 
follow the instructions in the description field.

Note that Tkinter scripts will *not* work under the IDE.

I'm not sure using curses under the IDE works, but it sure shouldn't 
crash. Could you send me the stack trace (if you have one: it may be in 
the Console window (Applications->Utilities->Console), or only in an 
IDE dialog (in which case it's diffficult to send). Otherwise send me 
the script, if it isn't too big, plus instructions on how to get the 
crash.
