It is not usable by Python programs, such as my character-mode emulation of pixel-mode WxPython (available as "tsWxGTUI_PyVx" on GitHub) which creates a 71 color palette but will not work (its has been disabled) with the existing 16-color curses because text attributes (such as underline) partially overlay the foreground-background color-pair attributes. > Work is all ready being done to support building Python with ncurses6, see https://bugs.python.org/issue25720. Whether this alone meets your needs or an enhancement request on the bug tracker against 3.6 is required I'm really not qualified to say. -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.
