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.
  • Wraps Public Domain Curses (PDCurses) using ctypes when used on Microsoft Windows.
  • Compatible with Python 2.x and 3.x series.
  • Uses syntax and function names similar to the original NCurses functions.

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

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.
