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!
