From 49f865bcd42851d45a91f3abe11c95a3d039ee1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Miss Islington (bot)" <31488909+miss-islington@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2026 18:38:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [3.15] gh-110904: Recommend windows-curses in the curses HOWTO (GH-152491) (GH-152506) The HOWTO pointed at UniCurses, which is unmaintained and exposes its own API. windows-curses provides the standard curses interface on Windows, so existing code runs unchanged.
