  We need somethin like a portable curses module (plus colorama)
  and it has got to work on both Windoze and Linux straight out
  of the box in standard Python. And it would be even sicker if it
  could run in that IDLE console too! That way, we could code up
  some legit terminal-based software (like slrn or Nethack) using
  just plain ol' Python, no extra stuff required. It's a real
  shame it ain't already part of the standard library. Someone's
  got to step up and make this happen. Python needs a portable
  console TUI! It'd be the bomb if you could make /that/ happen!
