No module named _curses

I am very new to both Ubuntu and python. I am trying to run a code and getting : ImportError: No module named _curses.

I tried:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev 

All reported they are already the newest version, nothing added, nothing upgraded.

How should I proceed?

UPDATE
The python version was 2.7.9, Ubuntu 14.04
After updating to 2.7.10 the error was gone.
