Curses module not available on Windows

Having found this repository via your video Every Python Project I've Ever Made, it might be worth reminding followers that the Windows version of Python doesn't include the curses module. An alternative that works is the Python curses wheels for Windows via pip install windows-curses, which allows us to import curses as per the source code.
