title: Installing bpython on Windows 10
body: <p>I am attempting to install bpython on Windows 10 and have followed the process to the best of my ability as outlined on the <a href="https://docs.bpython-interpreter.org/windows.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">official bpython website</a> and on this <a href="https://gist.github.com/heitorlessa/20bb6b6826878f01b0c5cbb1e6bf0982" rel="nofollow noreferrer">helpful GitHub gist</a>.</p>
  <p>I am running PowerShell on a 64bit laptop running Windows 10, and so I downloaded the python 3.7 release for Windows AMD 64-bit from the <a href="https://www.lfd.uci.edu/%7Egohlke/pythonlibs/#curses" rel="nofollow noreferrer">release page</a> which is <code>curses-2.2-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl</code>.</p>
  <p>I already successfully installed bpython via pip, so when I downloaded this wheel file I attempted to install it and got this error:</p>

  <p>After this, I downloaded the win32 version <code>curses‑2.2‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl</code> and ran it just for kicks and it outputs this:</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/4iaCd.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/4iaCd.png" alt="output this" /></a></p>
  <p>and also was able to run the program successfully one time until I hit the return key while creating a basic hello world function and it output this error:</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0fmjx.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0fmjx.png" alt="this error" /></a></p>
  <p>It now outputs this error any time I attempt to run bpython.</p>
  <p>I have both python 2.7 and 3.7 installed on my computer, so I would like to install bpython for both, but need to at least get it to work for one first.</p>
  <p>Did I perform the installation incorrectly or is there some other issue or step that I missed?</p>
