Replace Windows recommendation for curses (UniCurses) with windows-curses #110904

Open heubergen opened 1 year ago

heubergen commented 1 year ago

Documentation

https://docs.python.org/3/howto/curses.html says:

The Windows version of Python doesn’t include the curses module. A ported version called UniCurses is available.

but that project is no longer maintained (since 2014). User suggest to use windows-curses instead, which while also having no activity since November 2022 is at least newer than the other one. I couldn't find a better/more active project.

@heubergen I started maintaining Uni-Curses at 2021 and still keeping it up-to-date. Another maintainer tried to contant the owner (Agetian) who abandoned it but without any luck, therefore the old package stayed there and a new one was created.

(it's heavilly tested too; with apps like this one or that one)
