Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: I asked on the ncurses-bugs mailing list about this problem, and got an immediate and helpful reply from the ncurses maintainer (Thomas Dickey).
It turns out that this *is* a Mac-specific problem: in Snow Leopard the Apple-supplied ncurses.h defines NCURSES_OPAQUE to 1 (if it isn't already defined) by default, while a standard ncurses install defines NCURSES_OPAQUE to be 0 by default. Furthermore, Thomas Dickey has said that he'll add an is_pad function for later use, so if the WINDOW flags do disappear or move in a future version of ncurses then there should be an easy workaround available at that time. So just #defining NCURSES_OPAQUE to 0 for OS X >= 10.6 seems a reasonable way to fix this for now. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6848> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
