It's both - both ncurses and python should be making a check.

Correction: ncurses, python, AND the programmer should be making that check ;).
 

@Thorben: the real problem is that you're creating a window which is too big for the screen, so newwin() returns NULL. Always check the return value of newwin(), because it will fail if you try to create a window which will not fit in the screen.
