Richard S. Gordon added the comment: Clarification: The suggested fix to the Python 3.6.1 curses stdlib should only be applied to those 64-bit platform version used with 64-bit ncurses 6.0. It should NOT apply to the Python 3.6.1 curses stdlib applied to those 32-bit platforms used with 32-bit ncurses 6.0, because the 32-bit ncurses 6.0 API is backwards compatible to the 32-bit ncurses 5.x API.
