I'm trying to write my first Python curses program. The "Curses Programming with Python" HOWTO (A.M. Kychling, April 1998) says there are two modules, "curses" (Lance Ellinghouse) included with the Python distribution, and the enhanced "cursesmodule" (Oliver Andrich, http://www.fga.de/andrich/creations.html#cursesmodule -- but the webpage is gone now).
On my Slink system, I can do "import curses" fine. But if I do "import cursesmodule", it says: % python Python 1.5.1 (#1, Oct 15 1998, 01:17:50) [GCC 2.7.2.3] on linux2 Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam >>> import cursesmodule Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initcursesmodule) >>> "cursesmodule" on my computer is actually /usr/lib/python1.5/lib-dynload/cursesmodule.so . "curses" does not exist as curses.so or curses.py or anything, so it must be inside the Python binary or something, I guess.
