curses module is the way to go... anyone knows of any good tutorials
apart from the one written by esr

There is at least 1 higher level library atop curses.
http://excess.org/urwid/ I've only played with it a little bit but it looks
useful.

Not off the top of my head, no. However, you will find that the functions
needed will be very similar to the C functions used. I did this with PHP a
while back and (because there are a lack of tutorials for PHP too) I had to
resort to the man pages for it. So I'd suggest reading that tutorial (by
esr or whoever) and then just reading the man pages for C for more
documentation.

It wasn't written by esr. He only has his name on it, did none of the work.
