Content
There exists a standard for wide-character curses (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/cursesix.html) and at least ncurses implements it (almost completely; you need to enable this when configuring it). It is essensial for getting the maximum of modern UTF-8 terminals (e.g. xterm). It would make sense for python's curses module to support all the wide functions on systems where the wide curses interface is present, especially since Python already supports unicode.
