I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and just installed Python3.6 manually (downloading the tar file). I already have Python2.7 and Python3.4 with Python2.7 the default one. With Python3.6, everything seems to be OK except when I run 

import curses
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/curses/__init__.py", line 13, in <module>
    from _curses import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_curses'

Running 

sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev
sudo apt-get install libncursesw5-dev

did not work and neither did

pip3.6 install libncurses-dev

How do I install the curses module in python3.6?

    Thank you @LexScarisbrick. Turns out that the test phase has failed so _curses*.so files were not generated. I ran make test again and now it worked. I also made use of this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29886229/getting-errors-failing-tests-when-installing-python3-4-3-on-lubuntu-14-04 – Amin Nov 16 '19 at 03:18
