Problem noted & original patch by Serhiy Storchaka; I tweaked the patch a bit.

Reported by Atsuo Ishimoto.

returning an integer. So it is now possible to distinguish special keys like
keypad keys.

when it is linked to the ncurses library. It encodes also Unicode strings to
the locale encoding instead of UTF-8.

Unicode string.

This is an incompatible change, but putp() is used to emit terminfo commands,
which are bytes strings, not Unicode strings.

Unicode string.

This is an incompatible change, but the previous behaviour was completly wrong.

Skip the test if the function is missing. Use U+0061 (a) instead of U+00E9 (é)
because U+00E9 raises a _curses.error('unget_wch() returned ERR') on some
buildbots. It's maybe because of the locale encoding.

Push a character so the next get_wch() will return it.

ncurses returning ERR from getmouse() when there are no mouse events
available.

the curses module must be linked against ncurses as well. Otherwise it
is not safe to load both the readline and curses modules in an application.

Thanks Thomas Dickey for answering questions about ncurses/ncursesw
and readline!

regrtest -j support wasn't backported to 3.1, but in 3.1 regrtest itself
captures stdout, so doing this skip is needed.

    Grow the allocated buffer in PyUnicode_EncodeUTF7 to avoid buffer overrun.

    Without this change, test_unicode.UnicodeTest.test_codecs_utf7 crashes in
    debug mode. What happens is the unicode string u'\U000abcde' with a length
    of 1 encodes to the string '+2m/c3g-' of length 8. Since only 5 bytes is
    reserved in the buffer, a buffer overrun occurs.

  tests that expect to be skipped if imports fail or functions don't
  exist to use import_function and import_module.  The ultimate goal is
