Is there any alternative of the curses module for python to use in windows? I looked up in the python documentation, but there its mentioned that its for using in unix. I am not much familiar with these, so is there some way to use curses module in windows or is there some similar module specially for windows? [I am using Python 3.3]
Answer
I'm happy to report that there's now a Windows build of Curses available as an extension for Python on Windows, from here. (I didn't write it, and I don't know who maintains it.)
You can run the installer, and import curses to get curses running. (Verified on 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 8.)
@ArtOfWarfare points out that you can install this via Pip with this commend:
pip install http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/xugyqnq9/curses-2.2-cp27-none-win32.whl
