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.
Awesome, excellent news. Thanks! If you convert your comment as an answer, I can accept it.
