refactor: remove windows-curses dependency for MSYS2 compatibility

[Kreijstal]

I do not believe poetry has the flexibility to do this, I really tried, but this should work on msys2, and linux as well..

I guess created an issue here python-poetry/poetry#10576

As you can see poetry doesn't seem to cooperate :p

maybe the real problem is the windows-curses dependency

Thanks for the PR and sorry for the late reply. The project has since migrated from Poetry to uv, so this no longer applies as is. Unfortunately the underlying problem isn't something any build tool can fix. MSYS2's mingw Python reports the same PEP 508 marker values as native Windows, so wheel metadata simply can't express "Windows but not MSYS2". The setup.py approach only works for sdist installs and wouldn't help wheel users either.

I'd rather not add tricky build-time or import-time hacks for this. For now MSYS2 users can work around it with pip install --no-deps pick, or with uv by adding

[tool.uv]
override-dependencies = ["windows-curses; sys_platform == 'never'"]

I'll keep this open until there's a clean way to solve it properly.
