See the "Whither cursesmodule" thread in the python-dev archives:
http://www.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2000-February/003796.html

One possibility was to blow off backward compatibility; are there any
systems that only have BSD curses, not SysV curses / ncurses?  Given
that Pavel Curtis announced he was dropping BSD curses maintainance
some years ago, I expect even the *BSDs use ncurses these days. 

However, Oliver Andrich doesn't seem interested in maintaining his
ncurses module, and someone just started a SWIG-generated interface
(http://pyncurses.sourceforge.net), so it's not obvious which one
you'd use.  (I *would* be willing to take over maintaining Andrich's
code; maintaining the BSD curses version just seems pointless these
days.)
