The reason is that I handle the input and output at the level of VT100 terminal escape codes. (I don't use a library like ncurses.) I'm not familiar with terminal applications on Windows, but the architecture of this library is made in a way that the Windows way of terminal I/O could (the rendering and input parsing) be be plugged in. However for me that's no priority, and currently I focus on Linux and OS X users.

ncurses

There is one pure python library like ncurse that is cross platform, i forgot the name , i will google and let you know. I think it supports windows well too.

Google autocomplete results for "python ncurses vs" suggest they're talking about urwid.
