The curses HOWTO recommended :pypi:UniCurses, which is unmaintained and exposes its own API rather than the standard :mod:curses interface.

Recommend :pypi:windows-curses instead: it provides the standard curses interface on Windows (so existing curses code runs unchanged) and is actively maintained.
