3 The main package for curses support for Python. Normally used by importing
4 the package, and perhaps a particular module inside it.

21 # _curses module's dictionary after initscr() is called. (Some
22 # versions of SGI's curses don't define values for those constants
23 # until initscr() has been called.) This wrapper function calls the
24 # underlying C initscr(), and then copies the constants from the
25 # _curses module to the curses package's dictionary. Don't do 'from
26 # curses import *' if you'll be needing the ACS_* constants.
