There is a wcurses . I've never tried it but it may meet your needs. It sounds like it doesn't have full curses compatibility, but may be close enough.
Also it might not be using the DOS terminal, but opening a GUI window and drawing monospaced text inside.
PDCurses works on Windows, but I don't know any Python wrapper. I wonder whether the curses module could be implemented on Windows with PDCurses?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
