py25-curses 2.5.1 Runtime error, unable to import curses.panel

[greg@…]

When I try the following:

python2.5 -c 'import curses.panel'

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/local/lib/python2.5/curses/panel.py", line 8, in <module>

I had a similar error to the above, and I made the following modification to py25-curses 2.5.2's setup.py to get it working:

       )

setup.py did not include libpanel or libpanelw as a needed library for the _curses_panel module, so symbols provided by either of those libraries aren't found at runtime.

Still an issue with 2.5.4 and aetherknight's patch works for me as well. Markus can we update py25-curses with this?

Updated in r48504 (maintainer timeout).
