ImportError: No module named '_curses' when trying to import blessings

Question

I am trying to run this:

from blessings import Terminal

t = Terminal()

print (t.bold(\'Hi there!\'))
print (t.bold_red_on_bright_green(\'It hurts my eyes!\'))
         


        

Answer 1

It's a known bug on windows. It has been open for 5 years, so don't hold your breath.

The unofficial curses build is not enough since it also requires fcntl, which isn't likely to be ported anytime soon.
