[Tutor] Python curses document review?

I've spent the last two weeks of lockdown translating the Linux
Documentation Project's "Curses Programming HOWTO" document,
by Pradeep Padala, into Python curses.

I'm about half way through which means I've covered all of
the basic curses module stuff and am just starting on the
curses.panel module. Given that relatively few users
probably work with panel I thought this might be a good
opportunity to see if anyone fancies giving me early feedbak
on the curses section?

It's a PDF of about 60 pages length - much longer than all
the existing python curses documents put together! It is not
exhaustive but does cover most of what most users need:
input/output/colours/windows/text menus/mouse control etc.

I must emphasize that this is very much Pradeep's document
with the code translated from C to python, I've only tweaked
the text where necessary because of differences between
the libraries.

Any volunteers?
Anyone fancy having a crack at writing an old school
console game?! Space invaders maybe? :-)

Let me know and I'll email the PDF.
