I have a patch submitted, with docs changes etc. The patch is to the curses library module, and adds support for color_set, addchstr, addchnstr, mvaddchstr, mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchstr, mvwaddchnstr, waddchstr, and waddchnstr. I am wondering what to expect next. How long will it be before it is applied etc. This is my first attempt to submit a patch to Python. Also, does anyone know who the main person is for running changes to the curses library I wanted to get guidance for implementing support for family of functions newterm, set_term, reset_term. The main question I have is to support these functions consistently, would it be recommended to implement a new Python Screen object? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Patch-Ready-for-review-tp22254109p22254109.html Sent from the Python - python-dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Unfortunately, it may take any time between a day and five years, see below.

The curses module is largely unmaintained; nobody is really responsible for it (my feeling is that it also has fairly few users). Use "svn log" to find out what people have been making changes over time; if the commit messages indicate that they had applied patches from the bug tracker, also try to recognize any regular non-commit contributors.

Well, what got me interested in Python was the fact that it had support for reading mail files and for the curses library. When I found out there was a need for folks to work on this module I thought I would start contributing, I would love to become a primary maintainer of this particular module, because I think writing console apps is cool (yes I know my inner nerd is showing). Maybe someday I will also create a computational geometry module that can be plugged in to Python as well, but for the time being I think I could handle working on this module. "Martin v.
