Hi, Sorry, it was just laughingly pointed out to me that I responded to your complaint about a bug being ignored by asking you to file a bug. :) Thats what I get for "reading" things late at night.<div><br></div>
<div>regardless, any time you have a patch for something, please attach it to the issue, things on the mailing list get lost. I've gone ahead and attached the patch and accepted the issue. I have a netbsd ec2 instance to test with now but haven't had time to get it setup for python development.</div>
<div><br></div><div>None of the devs currently run netbsd on a regular basis or have much experience with it as a platform so patches are a great help. Any chance you can also make a version of the patch that applies against hg cpython tip (3.3)?</div>

Would you please post this to <a href="http://bugs.python.org" target="_blank">bugs.python.org</a> so that it doesn't get lost? thanks!<div><br></div><div>-gps<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">

<br>
I ran across this issue several months ago and filed a bug report (#9667). It just came up again, and it doesn't look like anything's been done with the bug report, so I thought I'd post here.<br>
<br>
In _cursesmodule.c there are a lot of preprocesser conditionals that test if the system is NetBSD. In my case, the issue was that the module built lacked the KEY_UP / _DOWN / etc. constants, but there are other changes as well. This is the case even if you're compiling against ncurses instead of the system curses. Áttached below is a patch against 2.7.1 that negates the NetBSD conditionals if ncurses is present. It seems to work as expected, although I haven't done any real testing. I assumed this was done because NetBSD curses was missing something, but I looked at the headers and it seems to have most of the constants that the compilation directives are leaving out (A_INVIS, the aforementioned KEY_* constants, at least), so I'm not sure why that code isn't compiled in anyway. Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding this.<br>
