Installation of terraform-compliance using pip install on windows misses dependency check on windows-curses module

[vmathur2004]

Description :
When terraform-compliance is installed using pip install method the installation is reported as successful however an error is thrown upon execution of terraform-compliance complaining of inability to import module terrain because of a dependent module '_curses' being missing

Operating system: Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit

To Reproduce

1. Ensure that a Windows 10 enterprise 64-bit OS is selected where terraform-compliance has not be installed / used before

2. Open a command prompt with elevated privilages and execute pip install terraform-compliance

3. Check that the pip install is successful

4. Execute terraform-compliance assuming terraform plan output, feature to tests and steps are defined.

5. The execution fails with the below error:
   ERROR: Unable to import module 'terrain' from 'c:\users\username\appdata\local\programs\python\python37-32\lib\site-packages\terraform_compliance\steps\terrain.py': No module named '_curses'

Expected behavior :
The pip installation should check for all dependent modules to be present OR the installation instructions should clearly mention an explicit download of dependencies

Tested versions :

• terraform-compliance version (v1.2.8)
• terraform version (v0.12.24)
• python runtime version, if running as a python package (3.7.3)

Additional context
The problem can be resolved by manually installing the curses module for windows using the following command:

pip install windows-curses

Hello @vmathur2004, thanks for the issue 🎉

Yes, this was a mistake within 1.2.8, the issue is fixed within 1.2.9, releasing in few minutes.

Just released 1.2.9, must be in PyPi within few minutes. Can you have a try and let us know please ?

Thanks 🎉

Sure, will do when i get a chance during the day today

Confirm this to be fixed in v 1.2.9 - the dependency on windows-curses seems to have been removed.
