ncursesw is a drop in library for curses, it just extends it to also handle unicode.
I'm trying to program curses through python. I want to use the unicode line drawing glyphs as well as being able to view accented characters.
Problem is that it uses the readline library. The readline in the main distro uses the non unicode legacy libncurses. Since both libncurses and libncursesw both link to the same symbols you can't mix them in the same program address space.
Is there any easy way to get everything everything in the main distro to compile using the the unicode version of ncurses? Something I can put in make.conf? What about a global default for ports?
