 Not sure if related or not, but on NetBSD-current, despite:
 
  | % python2.7 -c 'import curses'
 
 correctly worked (like on netbsd-8 as reported on the PR)... ...doing:
 
  | % python2.7 -c 'import curses; print curses.KEY_A1'
  | Traceback (most recent call last):
  |   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  | AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'KEY_A1'
  | Exit 1
 
 I think that lang/python27/patches/patch-ah since 2.7.15 is no longer
 needed and the following patch should address that (full rationale in
 the possible candidate commit message):
 
  <https://www.NetBSD.org/~leot/pkgsrc-patches/python-2.7.15-rm-patch-ah.patch>
 
 Can you please test it and let us know if it fixes the issue?
 (after applying them there is no need to rebuild python27, just
 `cd pkgsrc/devel/py-curses && make replace' should be enough)
 
 
 Thank you!
