So, something in either upstream configure scripts or our numerous patches to Python, is breaking it. Or maybe Debian have a patch we need? 82808 1 alex.kanavin 2019-01-16 15:14:09 +0000 I can look into it, but I was also just about to start the python-sanity project... :) 82817 2 richard.purdie 2019-01-17 15:37:25 +0000 A test case which tests this would be great as this keeps getting broken. 82826 3 alex.kanavin 2019-01-18 11:24:50 +0000 This was actually broken from the start, as one of the recipe patches forces python to build with ncurses (not the wide-char version ncursesw). Should be a simple one-liner fix: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2019-January/278183.html
