No module named _curses issues when using Python's curses library under Windows

Solve

First, the root cause of this problem is that the curses library does not support Windows. So after we download the python (Python comes with the curses library), although we can see the curses library in the python directory \lib , we can't use it. will produce the error as above. It is also true that you can find the from _curses import * in the prompt file __init__ file.

To solve this problem, we need to use a unofficial curses (unofficial curses library) instead of Python's own curses library. That is WHL bag.

In my own case, I downloaded the python3.6.4 version, in https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses中找到 curses, And then download the WHL package that corresponds to your Python version (like mine is CURSES-2.2-CP36-CP36M-WIN32.WHL), I'm windows10-64bit, and I started thinking that I needed to download the AMD64 version, The test found that the use of that version when the installation will be reported an environment does not support the error, after changing this is the right.
