I followed the advise :

I was able to install curses from here:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses
And was then able to use tflearn to some extent on windows, but got different issues (will post later)

=============================

but i get the same error.

Could any one advise.

Thanks,

Jhon

This is because curses package is not supported in windows. Try installing Unicurses for windows. It should solve your problem, at least in my case.

Unicurses doesn't seem supported. I did try to install it (I have Python 3.5) but when installer launched, it couldn't find my version of Python. At this point, I followed this answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/41224335/1577947 and was able to import tflearn and not have the ImportError: No module named '_curses' appear.

It seems like curses isn't used prominently in the TFLearn library so I have suggested removing the library as a required dependency. See PR #549
