You may want to checkout...
http://packages.debian.org/testing/interpreters/python-newt.html
http://packages.debian.org/testing/interpreters/python-slang.html

Both URLs have links to the original source and a diff of what Debian
did to get it to work, they should be a good starting point (newt is
most like dialog).
