[Bug 1021783] Re: invalid behavior of curses.newpad().refresh()

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package python3.2 - 3.2.3-3

---------------
python3.2 (3.2.3-3) unstable; urgency=low


  * Update to 20120709 from the 3.2 branch. Fixes:
    - Issue #15020: The program name used to search for Python's path is now
      "python3" under Unix, not "python".
    - Issue #15033: Fix the exit status bug when modules invoked using -m
      switch, return the proper failure return value (1).
    - Issue #12268: File readline, readlines and read() or readall() methods
      no longer lose data when an underlying read system call is interrupted.
      IOError is no longer raised due to a read system call returning EINTR
      from within these methods.
    - Issue #15142: Fix reference leak when deallocating instances of types
      created using PyType_FromSpec().
    - Issue #10053: Don't close FDs when FileIO.__init__ fails.
    - Issue #14990: Correctly fail with SyntaxError on invalid encoding
      declaration.
    - Issue #15247: FileIO now raises an error when given a file descriptor
      pointing to a directory.
    - Issue #5346: Preserve permissions of mbox, MMDF and Babyl mailbox
      files on flush().
    - Issue #10571: Fix the "--sign" option of distutils' upload command.
    - Issue #9559: If messages were only added, a new file is no longer
      created and renamed over the old file when flush() is called on an
      mbox, MMDF or Babyl mailbox.
    - Issue #14653: email.utils.mktime_tz() no longer relies on system
      mktime() when timezone offest is supplied.
    - Fix GzipFile's handling of filenames given as bytes objects.
    - Issue #15101: Make pool finalizer avoid joining current thread.
    - Issue #15036: Mailbox no longer throws an error if a flush is done
      between operations when removing or changing multiple items in mbox,
      MMDF, or Babyl mailboxes.
    - test_nntplib now tolerates being run from behind NNTP gateways that add
      "X-Antivirus" headers to articles.
    - Issue #15043: test_gdb is now skipped entirely if gdb security settings
      block loading of the gdb hooks.
    - Issue #13557: Clarify effect of giving two different namespaces to exec
      or execfile().
    - Issue #15300: Ensure the temporary test working directories are in the same
      parent folder when running tests in multiprocess mode from a Python build.
  * Lookup extension modules with a multiarch suffix too.
  * Include /usr/include/ncursesw in CPPFLAGS for the curses configure
    checks. Closes: #681007. LP: #1021783.
  * Fix running the testsuite.
  * Backport issue #13150: sysconfig no longer parses the Makefile and config.h
    files when imported, instead doing it at build time.  This makes importing
    sysconfig faster and reduces Python startup time by 20%.
  * Don't build the _hashlib and _ssl extensions as a builtin, but as
    extensions. Addresses: #680930.
  * python3.2: Add a break for python-virtualenv (<< 1.7.1.2-2~).
  * For lto builds, use -g instead of -g1; filter out lto flags in the
    installed Makefile. Addresses: #681348.
  * Don't run the test_gdb test on mips/mipsel, not even in debug mode.

Title:
  invalid behavior of curses.newpad().refresh()

Status in “python3.2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  There is invalid behavior of builtin curses module in amd64 version
  python3.2.

  From API spec, `refresh()` method of a window object returned by
  `curses.newpad(h,w)` should accept 6 arguments; `pad.refresh(pt, pl,
  st, sl, sb, sr)`.

  - http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/curses.html#curses.newpad

  But python3.2 package in amd64 ubuntu precise does not accept
  arguments.

      size = screen.getmaxyx()
      pad.refresh(0, 0, 0, 0, size[0] - 1, size[1] - 1)

  The code is worked well on python2.7 pakcage and self compiled python3.2.3.
  There may be a package build problem at python3.2 or ncurses.
