…w build curses.window.get_wch, curses.window.get_wstr, curses.unget_wch, curses.erasewchar, curses.killwchar and curses.wunctrl now also work when Python is built against a non-wide curses library, on an 8-bit locale, where each character is a single byte in the relevant encoding. curses.ungetch now also accepts a one-character string, like curses.unget_wch.

The wide-character
cursesfunctions and methodscurses.window.get_wch,curses.window.get_wstr,curses.unget_wch,curses.erasewchar,curses.killwcharandcurses.wunctrlnow also work when Python is built against a non-wide curses library (ncurses, not ncursesw), on an 8-bit locale, where each character is a single byte in the relevant encoding.curses.ungetchnow also accepts a one-character string, likecurses.unget_wch; on a wide-character build it can be any character (previously a multibyte character raisedOverflowError).This completes the build-transparent cell API added in gh-151757 and gh-152233.
