Package: python2.7
Version: 2.7.2-5
Severity: normal
The current release of python 2.7 is linked improperly against
libncurses instead of the wide-char capable version libncursesw like
python 2.6 is. This makes it much more difficult to work with unicode in
Python with curses.
A simple rebuild with libncursesw should fix the issue.
For reference:
$ ldd /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_curses.so
...
libncursesw.so.5 => /lib/libncursesw.so.5 (0x00007f6f1016f000)
...
$ ldd /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_curses.so
...
libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x00007fa300c4b000)
...
