Ncurses!

Supplemental Information
* Here is a link to a page on using Python with Ncurses courtesy of the Npyscreen python widget library and application framework.
* A JavaScript binding to Ncurses had been implemented on top of the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine (used by Mozilla/Firefox). Using this binding makes it easier and faster to write Ncurses apps in JavaScript, as well as having several advantages over using C. Check it out at: http://SpiderApe.sourceforge.net/
