Hi Ichazo!

Sorry about not answering sooner; I've been a bit busy.  The curses
module, unfortunately, appears to be limited to Unix systems until someone
takes the time to make it work on Windows.  There's supposed to be a
similar module called WConio:

so you may have more success with it.


There's some more information on curses here:

    http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-python6.html

where the author casually mentions that someone had ported curses to
Windows... but doesn't mention it for the rest of the article.  *sigh*
Does anyone know more about this?


Good luck to you!
