 Python.


 WConio
 ------

 Since Python's advanced terminal handling layer, :mod:`curses`, is restricted to
 Unix-like systems, there is a library exclusive to Windows as well: Windows
 Console I/O for Python.

 `WConio <http://newcenturycomputers.net/projects/wconio.html>`_ is a wrapper for
 Turbo-C's :file:`CONIO.H`, used to create text user interfaces.



 Compiling Python on Windows
 ===========================

 <https://devguide.python.org/setup/#getting-the-source-code>`_.

 The source tree contains a build solution and project files for Microsoft
 Visual Studio2015, which is the compiler used to build the official Python
 Visual Studio2017, which is the compiler used to build the official Python
 releases. These files are in the :file:`PCbuild` directory.

 Check :file:`PCbuild/readme.txt` for general information on the build process.


 For extension modules, consult :ref:`building-on-windows`.
