Summary:                    'import curses' fails in currrent Python
(2.6.1,REV=2009.03.02)
Description: 
I'm unable to import 'curses' module in current Python. The same symptom is
observed on x86 and sparc.

On sparc, it looks like this:

$ ldd /opt/csw/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_cursesmodule.so 
        libcurses.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        /usr/platform/SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220/lib/libc_psr.so.1
The error seems to be from the runtime linker path.  as you can see
_cursesmodule.so is linked against /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1 and not
/opt/csw/lib/libcurses.so.1  I am not sure what happened here as the recipe
has the correct runtime linker paths.  I will investigate

I have relinked the curses module to the appropriate library.
Please check out the version in "testing" and let me know if 
you have any issues with it.
