Error no module named curses

Question

When I try to run the following code...

from telnetsrvlib import *

if __name__ == '__main__':
"Testing - Accept a single connection"
class TNS(SocketServer.TCPServer):
    allow_reuse_address = True

class TNH(TelnetHandler):
    def cmdECHO(self, params):
        """ [<arg> ...]
        Echo parameters
        Echo command line parameters back to user, one per line.
        """
        self.writeline("Parameters:")
        for item in params:
            self.writeline("\t%s" % item)
    def cmdTIME(self, params):
        """
        Print Time
        Added by dilbert
        """
        self.writeline(time.ctime())

logging.getLogger('').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

tns = TNS(("0.0.0.0", 8023), TNH)
tns.serve_forever()

I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\telserv.py", line 1, in <module>
from telnetsrvlib import *
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\telnetsrvlib-1.0.2-py2.4.egg\telnetsrvlib.py", line 31, in <module>
import curses.ascii
  File "C:\Python27\lib\curses\__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
from _curses import *

I am running python 2.7 and have imported the telnetsrvlib library and I am running the code on windows 7. Any help would be appreciated.

You could also look into installing the curses module from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses.

It allows python's native curses to be used on Windows, so all your standard python curses code can be used.
