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.

Please give us some error logs. E.g. what's the output of.

python3 -c 'import curses; print(curses.__file__)'

macro_rules! yolo { { $($tokens:tt)* } => { unsafe { $($tokens)* } }; }

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)
