"Install a supported _curses library"
That's not correct advice. _curses is the name of the support module written in C in the Python Standard Library. If it is not available to import in an installation, it's most likely because the build of the module failed because the third-party libraries that implement curses functionality was not installed or not found during the build. How you install the third-party curses library varies greatly by platform or distribution. Some distributions have multiple variants of curses packages, ones with just libraries and others ("-dev" packages) that include header files necessary for Python to build its _curses module. The Dev Guide has some information on dependencies in general and the details for _curses are in the code in setup.py. It's also possible that the distributor has broken Python curses support out into a separate package. So it's not easy to provide a message with a useful specific suggestion; there are just too many cases. |
