If python is compiled to use ncursesw, when importing readline module, it brings *both* ncurses and=20 ncursesw. This may cause problems, so that why we disable linking against ncursesw in files/patch-setup.py.=20 However, this disables the ability to use ncursesw in some python scripts. Also, it seems that other distributions, like Debian,=20 actually links to ncursesw and I'm not aware of any issues with that.=20 So, bottom line is we add an option to lang/python25, so that=20 for users want to use ncursesw, they can enable. In the future, if we solve the readline issue, we should make this as default. Any suggestions?
