Looks nice! And documented with examples, too (the best sort of basic 
documentation).

About:
"All it accepts is "curses" and "gtk", because it's not the kind of 
thing that should be on the final version of your code"

Why not? Would it not be appropriate for a program that could be run in 
single-user mode, or with an alternate text interface in case there is 
not enough memory?
