Hi everyone, I heard there is a curses module, to create text-based, console GUIs, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Is it no longer supported? Thanks!

Please look harder next time, Sir/Madam. Use Wikipedia to get the general idea of how something works, or, if you don't trust it, use Google and add " site:.edu" to only search academic websites. ncurses (is not a Release so it would be handy to know C++) RapidSVN is an excellent program you can use to download/update the source you want

Hi, thanks. I thought there was an already compiled module available, so I didn't look under source. Thx again.

Also note that you have to run ncurses executables from the terminal with "./" before the filename, and that some of the examples are a little out of date (or something, the position one does not have a "Draw" Function defined (your inquiry piqued my interest in this library)), so take them with a grain of salt. There is more to the ncurses module than meets the eye. :/ I am having more problems on Debian than I am on Ubuntu...
