curses panel functions generate no output at all

[pjfarleyiii]

I have tried to use the curses panel functions on a Win10-64 system from python 3.8.3 (64-bit version) and even a very simple program generates no output at all. No error messages, no traceback, no output whatsoever. Test program attached.

A simple test program using only normal curses windows does work on the same system, I have also attached that program for comparison.
