curses.__version__ hasn't been defined since at least 3.8 It is defined in the c module as _curses.__version__ and _curses_panel.__version__ but due to star imports and a lack of __all__, is not defined in the public module

This attribute does not exist in any of stable versions 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14

I don't think this needs a news entry, but if it does please let me know.

  • Issue: Misleading __version__ attribute of modules in standard library #76007
