crossplatform curses-style apps

copx

Hi, I want to write a console/terminal app in Python that requires
curses-like functionality. Problem: the python curses module doesn't seem to
work on Windows. In fact it doesn't work (isn't part of the Python package)
on my Linux distro (SUSE Linux 9.1 Special Edition) either.
Well what should I do? The app is supposed to work on Windows and Linux at
least (more platforms would be nice).

TIA,
copx

There is no curses package for windoze....
A great shame...
