Hi Richard, sorry it too so long for anyone to respond to this issue!  It's 
been long enough that I'm going to assume that this has long since been fixed 
or worked around.  However, if you can still reproduce this with a modern 
version of Python (3.6-3.8), do please reopen the issue and attach some code 
that shows what's going on.

[issue21615] Curses bug report for Python 2.7 and Python 3.2

[Richard s. Gordon]

New submission from Richard s. Gordon:

Curses bug report for Python 2.7 and Python 3.2

My Python code outputs text properly with xterm and xterm-16color. It does not 
work properly with xterm-88color and xterm-256color (after defining RGB color 
pallet) when run on Python-2.7 and Python-3.2 on Cygwin with Windows 7 Pro, 
Ubuntu Linux 12.04, Mac OS X 10.9.3 and PS-BSD 10.

For text output to xterm-88color and xterm-256color Python generates unique 
colors that are plagued by the wrong color and underline artifacts.

xterm-16color   xterm-16color

cyan on olive with underlines   cyan on purple with 
underlines
Region 2white on black  white on black  
navy on black   white on orange
Region 3yellow on black yellow on black magenta 
on black with underlinesnavy on black with underlines

Some of my test platform terminals (such as iTerm2 on my iMac desktop system 
running Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.3) default to xterm-256color and presumably 
already have Python 2.7.5 built for 256 color. I downloaded and built Python 
3.2.2. 

My Python test code works properly with xterm and xterm-16color. Both display 
the wrong colors, some with underlines when run with xterm-88color and 
xterm-256color.

Any solutions or suggestions?

Richard S. Gordon
