It's not pre-installed in windows. Use $ ./python -m pip install curses

Aswin N Kaimal, I know from where you got that code. Forget it, actually that code isn't correct â˜č

You can either open command prompth, and type: py -m pip install curses Or you can just run this Python code: import os os.system("py -m pip install curses")
