I'd like to see this, although it's hardly crucial for me - however, "from version 2.6" may be unrealistic at this point. > It works ok already using the patch from issue #2889 and PDCurses library, > but needs expertise of core developers to integrate the patch into the build > system, add library to externals to ship next windows Python with embedded > curses support. One other option would be to pull out the core curses module as an external project (maybe called "pdcurses"), link it with pdcurses and provide Windows binaries - then developers who cared could do try: import curses except ImportError: import pdcurses as curses > I would really like to see this as release blocker, because the problem > raised once in a while in the past and the windows people who are interested > in getting console interface tools usually lack the knowledge of unix > platform to do the task. No way it's a release blocker - we've lasted this long without it so it's in no way essential for 2.6. > P.S.

But such interfaces are increasingly rare these days...
