ncurses in Python

[Dun'kalis]

I'm learning Python now (awesome programming language), and I'm wanting to do some ncurses stuff, but how good are the ncurses modules for Python? The tutorial is really lacking on information. Can I do pretty much the same stuff as in C-ncurses, or are there missing features?

the curses module is just a thin wrapper for ncurses

[bskahan]

there was a ncurses module written a while ago that was hoped to be a replacement for the default curses wrapper, but development appears to have stopped.

there is a file test_curses.py (i think) intalled with the python documentation. you can look at that for examples.
