Text Based UI

Have been looking into text based UI's in Python, but have found very little
useful documents. I am looking for some NCurses tutorials in particular but
can't seem to find anything helpful.

Can anyone help here?

Look for python-newt package. I found, that source package (SRPM) from
PLD is good crafted, shipping with all appropriate patches. The only
thing that this package really lacks is documentation.

The curses module in the standard distribution says it supports the ncurses
library. I don't know of a tutorial, but that could be a good place to
start.
