python27: curses broken

[Oliver Fromme]

Is it a known problem that curses is broken with the new
python27 port?  I tried it on 6-stable and on 8-stable
machines.  The build ends with this message:

    Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found:
    _bsddb             _curses            _curses_panel   
    gdbm               linuxaudiodev      spwd            
    sunaudiodev                                           
    To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.

Consequently, lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_curses.so is missing,
so importing the curses module fails thusly:

    >>> import curses
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/curses/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
        from _curses import *
    ImportError: No module named _curses
    >>> 

The port's files/patch-setup.py modifies quite a few things
in the curses detection parts, but I'm afraid I can't really
make much sense of it.

Best regards
   Oliver
