"""curses.wrapper

Contains one function, wrapper(), which runs another function which
should be the rest of your curses-based application.  If the
application raises an exception, wrapper() will restore the terminal
to a sane state so you can read the resulting traceback.

    restoring normal keyboard/screen behavior on error.
    The callable object 'func' is then passed the main window 'stdscr'
