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 :)
