I am sure you could, but one word of warning is that python's standard
curses module doesn't have a Windows version last time I checked
(*checks again, yep*)
There is a wcurses work-alike module that you can find, although IIRC it
has some minor differences that you will have to keep in mind if you
want your game to work cross-platform.
Gosh I love/hate Dwarf Fortress :)
