UniCurses is a wrapper for Python 2.x/3.x that provides a unified set of Curses functions on all platforms (MS Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X) with syntax close to that of the original NCurses. To provide functionality on MS Windows it wraps PDCurses.

Features

  • Provides a unified set of Curses functions for all platforms, including MS Windows.

User Reviews

  • Simply running the provided exe did not work. Apparently you can just do `pip install windows-curses`, and it works mostly fine? So this project seems obsolete.
  • fails to run on python 3.5.4 Fatal error: can't find pdcurses.dll for linking, make sure PDCurses v3.4+ is in the same folder as UniCurses if you want to use UniCurses on a win32 platform.
