I can't import the python curses module. curse.textpad is missing
>>> import curses
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "curses.py", line 4, in <module>
import curses.textpad
ImportError: No module named textpad
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
The following import statements work fine on the following Python versions that I have installed on El Capitan 10.11.6, and macOS Sierra 10.12.4:
Using idle, and idle3 respectively, or in executable Python code:
import curses
import curses.textpad
Example code that I have tested in all three of the above Python releases as a standalone python script. Just start typing and the textpad will reveal itself. Control-C to quit.
I found the problem. some how a pyc file name curses was in the same directory and using the import statement was calling that file. I've remove the file and it seems to have fixed the problem.
I'm not sure how this file got here.
I'm running on the default python 2.7.10
Seems like I have a corrupted library
python curses missing module
