Question Messed up Python Curses


I recently discovered that there was a curses library for Python

Overjoyed, I immediately set to programming.

Unfortunately, I tried to execute a simple command and got the following:
>>>import curses
>>>curses.initscr()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'initscr'
>>>

Eh? The same command worked just moments ago...what happened? I did some internet searching, and I believe the problem is occuring because I didn't properly end a curses session with curses.endwin(). I tired that command too, but got a similar error as above. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a solution to the problem

Any help you be greatly appreciated.

I think you can simply logout and log back in, or switch to a different terminal session. (And correct your code, too)
