Feature request: Recompile python3 with support for curses

We have python3-pip in the stock SailfishOS rrepository, which is really awesome because it opens a whole ecosystem of new tools.

However, our version of python was probably compiled without support for curses. This means any module installable through pip install but requiring _curses.so will in fact fail to install on SFOS, and curses cannot be installed with pip install to solve it. There is a huge number of python modules that require this module and are therefore out of reach.

Would it be possible to recompile python3 with curses support and ship it with a future SFOS release? This probably wouldn't have any compatibility drawbacks.
