Summary: curses module segfaults on invalid tparm arguments
Initial Comment:
At least on my platform the ncurses "tparm" function
returns NULL on certain invalid arguments.
PyCurses_tparm does not check the return value, it just
passes it to PyString_FromString. This means:
python -c "import curses;curses.setupterm();print
curses.tparm('', curses.COLOR_GREEN)"
gives me:
zsh: segmentation fault python -c
(tested with python 2.4.3)
I am not sure what the best fix is. An exception would
make sense to me, but the (related) tigetstr function
returns None to python if the wrapped c function
returns NULL, and I have not used the curses module
enough to know what is more common.
