There's a separate set of interfaces for wide-character curses support, with
functions such as addwstr().  Unfortunately the Python curses module doesn't
support these functions, and they may or may not be available on your
platform.  (For example, they don't seem to be available in the version of
ncurses in Debian unstable.)
