Can't install curses package

Question

I'am trying to run

pip install curses

in the CMD put it returns the error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement curses (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for curses 

I am using Python 3.12.0 on VS Code and trying to use the curses package but can't install it , I installed the package windows-curses pip install windows-curses in the CMD, but it didn't work as expected and couldn't call it like the videos on the internet like:

curses.curs_set(0)

I also tried pip3 install curses, but it didn't work.

So probably there is a difference between curses and windows-curses.

Answer 1

For you can use pip install windows-curses to install package.

Then use python codes import curses to use it.

Please note that even though you installed a package called windows-curses, you still import it using import curses. This is because windows-curses is a Windows-compatible version of the curses module, not a separate module.
