On FreeBSD there's no need for the ncurses package in most case. Since somewhere along 6.x and 7.x line Rong-En Fan switched FreeBSD to do what I did for DragonFly BSD a long time: to have both normal and wide curses available. As far as Python is concerned, it supports linking to ncursesw, so I think this issue can be safely closed since it is not a problem within Python (as also the original author said). If this is not ok, feel free to reopen.
