Hi Hossein,
According to:
http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/curses/
Alan probably meant to say to replace:
######
import msvcrt
######
with:
######
import curses
msvcrt = curses.initscr()
######
as a quick hack to replace 'msvcrt' with something that works on Linux.
It sounded that you wanted to look at other examples of curses
programming? A long time ago, I wrote a quick-and-dirty demo program that
uses curses here:

Good luck to you!
