I get Version 5.4, which seems very out of date (I'm running the
latest release of OS X) but:

nicholas$ ls -l /usr/lib/libncurses.
libncurses.5.4.dylib  libncurses.5.dylib    libncurses.dylib
NPSC:mnpyscreen nicholas$ ls -l /usr/lib/libncurses.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  20 25 Jul 18:32 /usr/lib/libncurses.dylib
-> libncurses.5.4.dylib

nicholas$ ldd /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_curses.so |grep curses
/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_curses.so:
	/usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib (compatibility version 5.4.0, current
version 5.4.0)

Can that possibly be right??
