For you can use pip install windows-curses to install package.

Then use python codes import curses to use it.

Please note that even though you installed a package called windows-curses, you still import it using import curses. This is because windows-curses is a Windows-compatible version of the curses module, not a separate module.

r/learnpython on Reddit: installing curses on window
November 20, 2021 -

I'm following a beginner project tutorial that requires the curses module and using the pip command in cmd "pip install windows-curses" doesn't work and spits out the following in the terminal:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement windows-curses (from versions: none)

ERROR: No matching distribution found for windows-curses

I can install other stuff using the pip install command but not this specific module, does anyone know why this could happen? what are the possible solutions?

May 30, 2017 - I don't know how to add Curses to Python. weve tried to use pip, but all versions of Python weve tried have said that there is either an issue with syntax, or that a command that tells the system to upload curses isn't recognized. Weve tried Python 3.6.1, 2.7.10.
