Is the Python binding for ncurses unicode capable?

[bmcnally at gmail.com]

I can't tell from the documentation, but I'd like to try and print
unicode characters through Python's binding to ncurses. From reading
the documentation on the curses module, it doesn't appear that this is
possible:

http://python.org/doc/2.4.2/lib/module-curses.html

Am I missing something, or is the binding only capable of ASCII?
