Hi,
I changed many functions of the curses module in Python 3.3 to improve
its Unicode support:

Thank you.
For example, if the Python curses module is not linked to libncursesw,
get_wch() is not available and addch("é") raises an OverflowError if
the locale encoding is UTF-8 (because "é".encode("utf-8") is longer
than 1 byte).
OverflowError? That is very surprising. I wouldn't guess that calling
addch could raise OverflowError.
Could you use a less surprising exception, or at least make sure that
it is clearly and obviously documented?
