Hello all,
I'm trying to learn Python, in particular the curses module. My system
is running Slackware 9.0 and the verion of Python that comes installed
with Slackware 9.0 is Python 2.2.2.
I've been trying to access the curses.wrapper module without any
success. I know that the wrapper exists in /usr/lib/python2.2/curses yet
any reference that I make to it is rebuffed by the interpreter.
Here's the python script I'm trying to run:
This is the error message that I get when I try to run the script from
the CLI:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./curses3.py", line 15, in ?
curses.wrapper(newWindow())
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'wrapper'
Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong?
