That is a bit of an overstatment on my part. What is true is that test_curses fails on 3.9 and 3.8 when run with ncurses 6.1+. It is also true that the relevant parts of test_curses are often skipped in CI and buildbot runs as described in Issue12669 so a test failure is often not seen. > Łukasz can provide direction about whether and when it should be backported > to 3.9 and/or 3.8. We discussed this and decided that a backport to 3.8 was out-of-scope but a backport in time for 3.9.0 might be OK. Alas, I had forgotten that other changes have gone into master for 3.10 prior to this merge which complicates a backport to 3.9, enough that we shouldn't be trying to throw this in just prior to 3.9.0rc1. Thanks everyone for the work on this! ---------- resolution: -> fixed stage: commit review -> resolved status: open -> closed versions: -Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36982> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
