No. AFAIK, nobody have made a curses library for java.

Maybe I'm not parsing your question correctly, but you can fake a module
import with code like this:


--------------- BEGIN ---------------
import new, sys

s = """
def bar():
   print 'bar'
"""

c = compile(s, "dummy", "exec")
m = new.module("dummy")
exec c in m.__dict__, m.__dict__

sys.modules['dummy'] = m


--------------- END ---------------

Later and in a different module, you can import the faked "dummy" module
with code like this:

import dummy
dummy.bar()
