 missing library.  I have ncurses and newt and dialog seems to require 
 something called ncursesw.  I've been trying to find the Python newt 

seems to require if you're installing some package.
dialog builds/works against either ncurses/ncursesw

ncursews was what the binary image of dialogue was complaining about. 
But that's all behind me now because I'm using http://excess.org/urwid/ 
as was suggested by someone else.  So far, it works pretty well.  There 
are errors reported that aren't obvious in terms of what they indicate 
but like others software packages, once you acquire the scar tissue, it 
becomes something you tolerate.

 I've looked at the Python dialog web site but it clearly states that it
 is a wrapper around dialogue/Xdialog.
 
 suggestions would be most welcome.

I'm sorry.  I should have been more explicit.  I need a textbased 
interface such as the ones you would get with curses and dialogue.

The most recent version of newt I've got is at

  ftp://ftp.visi.com/users/grante/stuff/newt-0.50.tar.gz

The python module is called snack

I just found that about an hour ago.  the demos work on the target 
system so I'm comfortable enough to go down that path.

thank you all.
