you only need the imports to work?
alternative 1: wrap the imports in try/except:
try:
import curses
except ImportError:
curses = None # let's hope nobody uses this
alternative 2: add python stub modules:
> more curses.py
# empty
if you decide that you want console output after all, you
could consider alternative 3: write a curses-compatible
