Hi Ichazo!
Sorry about not answering sooner; I've been a bit busy. The curses
module, unfortunately, appears to be limited to Unix systems until someone
takes the time to make it work on Windows. There's supposed to be a
similar module called WConio:

so you may have more success with it.
There's some more information on curses here:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-python6.html
where the author casually mentions that someone had ported curses to
Windows... but doesn't mention it for the rest of the article. *sigh*
Does anyone know more about this?
Good luck to you!
