My mistake... the system I'm having troubles installing bpython is actually a 10.7.5:
ProductName: Mac OS X ProductVersion: 10.7.5 BuildVersion: 11G56 and Python 2.5.6 was installed through Pythonbrew. Interestingly bpython works correctly on the same system with Python 2.7.3 installed through Pythonbrew. As far homebrew goes, I couldn't find anything "curses" :-).
