Haven't tried it, but,
http://www.mikroplan.com.pl/~mak/python/files/curses_src.zip
appears to be a zipfile containing a C source (to be compiled
to yield a for-Python module) and a curses.py module (that is
presumably meant to go with that extension module).  There
is a binary archive too, but I don't know what Python version
it is for.
