    Hi,

    Recently I was working with ncurses, and when handling the mouse scroll events, I noticed that the curses library does not include the BUTTON5_* macros provided by ncurses. On my system, BUTTON5 corresponds to the mouse down event.

    Is there a reason for this, or has it just not been updated? If so, the expectation is that it exists.

    Relevant source location: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2bc3434/Modules/_cursesmodule.c#L4668

    This baffled me, as well. Does the reason involve bit-field width?

    By the way, look at what my Python installation does when just pressing button 5 (mouse wheel down) after calling curses.mousemask():

    _curses.error: getmouse() returned ERR

    The curses program then crashes with an exit code of 1.
