Error no module named curses

Question

When I try to run the following code...

from telnetsrvlib import *

if __name__ == \'__main__\':
\"Testing - Accept a single connection\"
class TNS(SocketSer         


        

Answer 1

That works for me:

pip install windows-curses

Answer 2

inspired by @YKB, I did this for Ubuntu 16.04 and Python3.5.2,

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev,

and then go to source code of Python, and make, two new files are created.

_curses.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
_curses_panel.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

And then copy them to lib-dynload folder at where you installed your python.

Answer 3

Got the same error with Python 3.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 and here is how I fixed it.

My /usr/local/lib/python3.4/lib-dynload/ directory did not have the following files -

_curses.cpython-34m.so
_curses_panel.cpython-34m.so

Got a copy of the latest Python 3.4.2 source. Then (extracted &) compiled it:

./configure
make

Now the .so files I need were in build/lib.linux-i686-3.4/ and I copied them to /usr/local/lib/python3.4/lib-dynload/.

Answer 4

Install the UniCurses module from here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/UniCurses

You may need to alter some of your code in order to use it, as it provides the functionality of NCurses, not the vanilla curses library.

Unfortunately, no direct Python for Windows port of curses exists.

Answer 5

You could also look into installing the curses module from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses.

It allows python's native curses to be used on Windows, so all your standard python curses code can be used.
