_minimal_curses.py

"""Minimal '_curses' module, the low-level interface for curses module
which is not meant to be used directly.

Based on ctypes.  It's too incomplete to be really called '_curses', so
to use it, you have to import it and stick it in sys.modules['_curses']
manually.

Note that there is also a built-in module _minimal_curses which will
hide this one if compiled in.
