I'd like to help with this, but I don't even know where to start with argumentclinic -- any points would be greatly appreciated

presumably I should also add getters for these as well to retrieve the global variable from the curses side?

Are you asking about argumentclinic in general or something specific to this bug? If it's something specific feel free to ignore the following:

You can find a basic tutorial on argumentclinic here https://docs.python.org/3/howto/clinic.html#basic-concepts-and-usage

Essentially, you'll be adding something along these lines into _cursesmodule.c

/*[clinic input]
_curses.set_escdelay
    size: int
        bla bla description for size.
    /

One line description.

Extended description. Spanning over
multiple lines.
[clinic start generated code]*/

after which you can run `python3 Tools/clinic/clinic.py _cursesmodule.c` which will update the file and place the stub for the method in there.

There are also ncurses functions get_tabsize() and get_escdelay(). In other implementations they can be modeled by returning the TABSIZE and ESCDELAY global variables.

ah, I'll add those too -- I can do that in the current PR
