python suitable for character mode terminals on linux

[Sanjay Minni]

We have an oracle based app on linux server where
users are a mix of Character Mode Terminals (CUI)
alongwith Win, Linux GUI(gnome)
terminals.

Will python be a suitable front end in such an
environment (specially the Character mode CUI)
at least then some of the knowledgebase can be
reused.

Currently we use different platforms for
each environement

Python includes a curses module that wraps most of the SYSV curses/ncurses
interfaces (though certainly not all of them) so you could use that to
construct text-mode interfaces.

Yes, you'll find the curses module useful for CUI implementation.
