How to attract developer attention to issue tracker items?
Hi developers, What should / shouldn't I do to attract any python developer response to issue tracker items? I am unsure of the proper procedure to follow so I am asking here first. I have filed two issues on the python issue tracker for python curses issues: 1. # 43715, a documentation update request (suggested additional documentation file uploaded) 2. # 43716, a possible ABI issue for the curses.pair_number() function return value in a Windows environment With respect to the documentation issue, I would appreciate any review of whether the suggested documentation addition that I uploaded as a text file is acceptable as-is or whether further refinement or correction is needed. In the case of the possible ABI issue I am uncertain whether the issue is in the python interface code or in the underlying curses implementation library (windows-curses V2.2.0 using PDCurses). I would appreciate it if anyone knowledgeable of the python curses interfacing code could advise me whether I need to pursue the issue with the third party library provider or with the python development team. At the moment all that I know is that the "workaround" that I discovered corrects the issue under Windows but is not necessary under linux / ncurses (in my testing I used Ubuntu 20.04 WSL2 to confirm that fact). TIA for your patience with my ignorance of the proper procedures and channels. My environment: Windows 10 Pro 64 (latest version) Python 3.8.9 (tags/v3.8.9:a743f81, Apr 6 2021, 14:02:34) [MSC v.1928 64 bit (AMD64)] Windows-curses V2.2.0 Peter --

What you're doing here is probably your best bet. Unfortunately the lack of response might stem from no core devs being interested in curses (but if any are then hopefully this email will spark their interest). -Brett
Thanks Brett. I guess I will just have to wait and see.
