I've selected PDCurses and successfully compiled the module and run
demos manually - you may see the batch and the patch at
http://bugs.python.org/issue2889

However, I was asked for VS2008 project file and this is where it all
stopped for 8 months already. First I couldn't get the VS2008, then it
refused to run on my W2K and now I can't get enough time to learn it
(including that I have 50%/40% experience in PHP/Python and only 5%/5%
C/Java).
