Updated esp-idf to release version 5.1, but menuconfig doesn't work. Error message reads

menuconfig failed to import the standard Python 'curses' library

, which apparently is a problem starting with Kconfiglib 13.0.0. If I were to install the curses library with

pip install windows-curses

, what's the correct location to install it in?

For anyone who is experiencing this issue, the location to add the curses library to is in your .espressif folder: .espressif/python-env/idf5.1_py3.11env [or similar folder]/Lib/site-packages. From your terminal, navigate to this directory and type:

Code: Select all

pip install windows-curses
