New submission from Bill Green <b...@supposedly.org>: _cursesmodule.c provides a list of constants, prefixed with KEY_, corresponding to special keys (KEY_DOWN, KEY_LEFT, KEY_BACKSPACE, etc.). A portion of the function init_curses, which implements these, is #defined out on NetBSD (at line 2860 in Python 2.7). PyCurses_KeyName, which seems related (line 2111) is also not compiled on NetBSD. This is presumably because NetBSD's libcurses doesn't provide this functionality.
These functions work when _cursesmodule.c is linked to ncurses rather than BSD curses. Could the preprocessor directives be changed to omit these functions only if the platform is NetBSD AND ncurses is not being used? ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 114774 nosy: bgreen priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: NetBSD curses KEY_* constants type: behavior versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9667> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
