python celery - ImportError: No module named _curses - while attempting to run manage.py celeryev

Question

Background

Windows 7 x 64 Python 2.7 Django 1.4 Celery with Redis bundle

While trying to run manage.py celeryev, I get the following error in the terminal

import curses
File 'c:\Python2\lib\curses\__init__.py', line 15, in <module> from _curses import *
ImportError: No module named _curses

I've tried looking at other posts, but haven't been able to solve this problem. Any thoughts on what is causing this error? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

According to http://docs.python.org/library/curses.html the curses module is only supported on Unix platforms. Try the Windows binaries from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses .

Answer 2

根据https://pypi.org/project/windows-curses/，curses模块可以通过以下方式安装在Windows平台上：

pip install windows-curses
