After that PR, HAVE_NCURSESW is never defined on Darwin. It looks like this bit of logic was not ported from setup.py to configure.ac:\n\nhttps://github.com/python/cpython/blob/ec5e253556875640b1ac514e85c545346ac3f1e0/setup.py#L1121-L1124\n\nIn fact, wide char support is always available when using Apple-provided ncurses, and it used to work correctly in the 3.11 builds that I tested.\n\n@tiran can you confirm that this was unintended?\n\ncc @sobolevn who interpreted this as an intended change in https://github.com/python/typeshed/pull/10808. \n\n### CPython versions tested on:\n\n3.12, 3.13\n\n### Operating systems tested on:\n\nmacOS\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-111878\n* gh-112034\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/sorcio","@type":"Person","name":"sorcio"},"datePublished":"2023-10-29T14:32:43.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":11},"url":"https://github.com/111460/cpython/issues/111460"}
