New submission from Iñigo Serna <inigose...@gmail.com>: Currently,there is no a simple way in curses bindings to get the code associated with a key press of non ascii keystroke (f.e. ç) in terminals configured with UTF-8 encoding.
getch returns the code for a wide character byte a byte. But ncurses library has a proper function to do it: get_wch. Patch against Python v2.6.2 to provide this missing get_wch method in the ncurses bindings. Include a test example and a patch to the documentation as well.
