Summary: 0003510: '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.

    from _curses import *

ncurses is installed:

$ 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.
