Is it a known problem that curses is broken with the new python27 port? I tried it on 6-stable and on 8-stable machines. The build ends with this message:
Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found: _bsddb _curses _curses_panel gdbm linuxaudiodev spwd sunaudiodev To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name. Consequently, lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_curses.so is missing, so importing the curses module fails thusly: >>> import curses Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/curses/__init__.py", line 15, in <module> from _curses import * ImportError: No module named _curses >>> The port's files/patch-setup.py modifies quite a few things in the curses detection parts, but I'm afraid I can't really make much sense of it.
