Issues with python install not carring all the standard library

I am running python 3.7 on an Arch install and having issues with the curses module. The curses.py is not active located, I have tried to re-install python package but no luck getting curses.py. has this module been dropped from the standard library?

Please help, regards.

Apparently isnt getting the local curses either.

python3 -c 'import curses; print(curses.__file__)'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/jza/.local/lib/python3.6/curses/__init__.py", line 13, in <module>
    from _curses import *
ImportError: No module named '_curses'

You're using python 3.6 as a user-local installation for your account.
What's the output of

pacman -Qo $(which python3)
