I don't believe so. If you are building terminal based form-type
apps the best bet seems to be urwid. I haven't used it in anger
but the beginner docs I saw looked promising.

urwid does indeed look nice, but it would require doing the whole
bundling and installing thing. I was hoping to avoid that by sticking
with stdlib and curses.
