The GNU Project has announced the release of nCurses 6.0.
With it, Python curses would be able to support 256 colors instead of the
current 8 or 16.
I've discovered that a pre-release of Fedora 24 includes ncurses 6.0. It is not usable by
Python programs, such as my character-mode emulation of pixel-mode WxPython (available as
"tsWxGTUI_PyVx" on GitHub) which creates a 71 color palette but will not work
(its has been disabled) with the existing 16-color curses because text attributes (such
as underline) partially overlay the foreground-background color-pair attributes.
Work is all ready being done to support building Python with ncurses6,
see https://bugs.python.org/issue25720. Whether this alone meets your
needs or an enhancement request on the bug tracker against 3.6 is
required I'm really not qualified to say.
