Jython is an implementation of the high-level, dynamic, object-oriented
language Python written in 100% Pure Java, and seamlessly integrated with
the Java platform. It thus allows you to run Python on any Java platform.
"""curses
The main package for curses support for Python. Normally used by importing
the package, and perhaps a particular module inside it.
