Hello, I have the same problem mentioned in http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/c70c80cd9bc7bac6?pli=1some months ago.
Python 2.6 program which uses ncurses module in a terminal configured to use UTF-8 encoding. When trying to get input from keyboard, a non-ascii character (like ç) is returned as 2 integers < 255, needing 2 calls to getch method to get both. These two integers \xc3 \xa7 forms the utf-8 encoded representation of ç character. ncurses get_wch documentation states the function should return an unique integer > 255 with the ordinal representation of that unicode char encoded in UTF-8, \xc3a7. [Please, read the link above, it explains the issue much better that what I could do.] Any idea or update on this? Thanks, Iñigo Serna PS: my system is a Linux Fedora 11 x86_64. Same happens on console, gnome-terminal or xterm.
