Windows-curses在ubuntu上安装

Question

I am trying to install a package (python-can) by running pip2 install python-can and I get the following errors:

Collecting windows-curses (from python-can)
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement windows-curses (from python-can) (from versions: none)

Error: No matching distribution found for windows-curses (from python-can)

Any suggestions? I am on Ubuntu 16.04.

If you are using Python 3.6+, curses seem to be a part of the built-in Python for Ubuntu OS so there is nothing to install. You initialize a session to start using it.

import curses
stdscr = curses.initscr()

For Python 2.7, you may need ncurses.
