I know that the curses module has a long-standing bug wherein cursor visibility can't be set. I'm looking at using the module for certain uses, and this isn't a problems (as long as I hide the cursor offscreen) as I would control visuals to provide a simulated cursor anyway. I'm wondering, though, if there are any other elements of the curses module I should be aware of before I commit to it, i.e. bugs that could cause serious difficulties at some point.
This isn't criticism, I just know that the curses module is the sort of thing that probably isn't being maintained consistently, and I for one, have no idea how well all the new terms in common use maintain the sort of backwards compatibility python curses will need to do its job.
