Hmmm... python -v is cool!  I didn't realize that existed.  Anywho, it
fails the same whether I run it with -v or without:

>>> import curses
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named curses
>>> 

And "_cursesmodule.so" is definitely not being installed.  It does not
exist anywhere in my /usr/local/lib/python1.6 tree:

petra:/usr/local/lib/python1.6$ find . -name "_cursesmodule.so" -print
petra:/usr/local/lib/python1.6$ 

Very odd.
