ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_curses' erorr during import views in Django 4-CodePudding

I'm new in Django 4, trying to learn it via the book. I get error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_curses' when I import views in url.py and run server with python manage.py runserver. For some time it worked fine without any errors but suddenly stopped. This is the code of url.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from movie import views as movieViews

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    # path('', movieViews.home),
    # path('about/', movieViews.about),
]

Commented code does no effect, the problem is in line from movie import views as movieViews, if I comment it - no error. This is an error:

This is project's structure

In other threads I saw I should use Python 3.8 (like I should to downgrade... such a wierd practice, I saw that _curses module didn't update for 2 years!), and this error only with Windows. But I really can't understand where this module _curses come from, I just import one file to another. I'm using Python 3.10.2, VScode, Django 4.1.1, Win 10. I didn't use any virtual environments (even don't know what is it so far).

CodePudding user response：

You can try:

pip install windows-curses

... if this doesn't work it could be an issue with your Python interpreter. Make sure that your IDE is selecting the currect interpreter.
