What is needed for curses in Python 3.4 on Windows7?

by

You can use curses cross-platform (Windows, MacOS, GNU/Linux) if you install manually for Windows or like other package in others.

  1. Install wheel package. If you need more info about wheel click here.

  2. Go to this repository.

  3. Download a package with your python version, in example for python 3.4:

    curses-2.2-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl

  4. Install it (this command if for windows, in GNU/Linux install like other package)

    python -m pip install curses-2.2-cp34-none-win32.whl

  5. Just include in your python script:

    import curses

You can use curses wrapper for python. Works in Fedora 25 in all terminals, and Windows 10 using git bash, powershell, or cmd.

Update:

  • An alternative to curses in Windows here.
  • Console user interface in Windows here.
  • An interesting tutorial here.
