Package: python2.4 Version: 2.4.2-1 Severity: normal python2.4 links against libncurses5, which does not support I/O in wide-character locales (for instance, UTF-8). This makes the curses module basically useless for any terminal program that needs to be internationalized.
Please add support for unicode I/O; at a minimum, it's necessary to bind
add_wch, get_wch, and perhaps addwstr, and to link against libncursesw5.
Ideally, the add*w* routines would be automatically invoked if a Unicode
string/character was passed into the existing curses module routine,
but this could be handled at a higher level if it's too much trouble.
Thanks,
Daniel
