You shouldn't have to install it. Unless your Python installation is
defective in some regard, you should have it. That said, I don't do
Windows, so perhaps curses isn't available there.

% python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Nov 14 2012, 05:07:35)
[GCC 4.4.6 [TWW]] on linux3
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import curses
>>> curses.version
'2.2'

Oh, and when asking for help, it's best to cc the mailing list, not
just the person to whom you are responding. You get more timely -- and
more complete -- help. In this case, I can't state authoritatively if
curses is available on Windows. You also don't know that I didn't hit
"send" on my original response then immediately head off to the North
Woods for a week of hiking.
