Hmm, yes I get that too (I'd commented it out, because I thought it had something to do with the crashes, but it didn't AFAICT).
It's very strange. I tried wrestling with gdb to find out how it was failing, but didn't get very far.
It's hard to see how curs_set can fail. Maybe I need to build ncurses from source and link to that.
Heh, well I worked that one out. The terminfo database didn't contain entries for cursor visibility for the $TERM I had (xterm-color, for some forgotten reason). Setting it to xterm made test_curses.py pass for me. much-python-dev-noise-not-much-content-from-me-ly y'rs M. -- That's why the smartest companies use Common Lisp, but lie about it so all their competitors think Lisp is slow and C++ is fast.
