A quick inspection reveals that the detection of ncurses
between python26 and python27 was changed subtly, but the
port's patch file was adapted rather blindly, so it fails
to work with the new detection code.
The problem can be fixed by changing the following line
in ports/lang/python27/files/pat
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_p
