Unable to install curses (python/windows 10)

I have tried to use

python -m pip install windows-curses

and the error that shows up is:

  ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement windows-curses (from versions: none)

I have also tried the method provided by this answer and the same error shows up in my terminal window. How can I install Curses for Python/Windows 10 on my machine?

Solution

  • What's your Python version? This library works on 2.7 and 3.5+.

    I have installed here without problems.

    I have tested in 3.6 and 3.7 and worked fine.

    Try downloading wheel from https://pypi.org/project/windows-curses/#files if you has the apropriate version of Python.
