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.
