As I commented further up the thread, I tried 'import curses' in Windows 
and it said it couldn't find the module.

(Looking at docs.python.org: "No one has made a Windows port of the 
curses module".)

If you intend this keyboard handling to be a very minor part of a larger 
application, you don't want it falling over the first time someone tries 
to use it.
