> We really need to get this merged since, without it, Python builds fail with the newer versions of ncurses now in most distributions.
That is a bit of an overstatment on my part. What is true is that test_curses fails on 3.9 and 3.8 when run with ncurses 6.1+. It is also true that the relevant parts of test_curses are often skipped in CI and buildbot runs as described in Issue12669 so a test failure is often not seen.
> Łukasz can provide direction about whether and when it should be backported to 3.9 and/or 3.8.
We discussed this and decided that a backport to 3.8 was out-of-scope but a backport in time for 3.9.0 might be OK. Alas, I had forgotten that other changes have gone into master for 3.10 prior to this merge which complicates a backport to 3.9, enough that we shouldn't be trying to throw this in just prior to 3.9.0rc1.
Thanks everyone for the work on this! |
