Support for the standard curses module on Windows
Maintainers
Project description
Adds support for the standard Python curses module on Windows. Based on https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses. Uses the PDCurses curses implementation.
PDCurses is compiled with wide character support, meaning get_wch() is available. UTF-8 is forced as the encoding.
Note that PDCurses requires an explicit curses.resize_term(0, 0) call after receiving KEY_RESIZE to get behavior similar to the automatic SIGWINCH handling in ncurses. ncurses reliably fails for resize_term(0, 0), so a compatibility hack is to always call resize_term(0, 0) and ignore any curses.error exceptions.
Maybe it would be better to detect KEY_RESIZE in _cursesmodule.c and call resize_term(0, 0) there, for automatic compatibility…
