A bug, for the purpose of this tracker, is a discrepancy between between the
docs written by the PSF's core development team and the code provided by the
same. The PSF curses module is documented as unix-only. In particular, "This
extension module is designed to match the API of ncurses, an open-source curses
library hosted on Linux and the BSD variants of Unix." It does not run on the
PSF (python.org) Windows distribution, because there is no C interface to a
Windows implementation of curses.
>>> import curses # 64-bit 3.6.1 on Win 10 using python.org installer
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module>
import curses
File "C:\Programs\Python36\lib\curses\__init__.py", line 13, in <module>
from _curses import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_curses'
Anything Cygwin does to improve on this is their responsibility.

One or more people on the wxPython and/or Cygwin and/or other teams exerted the
effort to make this happen.
