The GNU Project has announced the release of nCurses 6.0.
With it, Python curses would be able to support 256 colors instead of the current 8 or 16.
I've discovered that a pre-release of Fedora 24 includes ncurses 6.0. It is not usable by Python programs, such as my character-mode emulation of pixel-mode WxPython (available as "tsWxGTUI_PyVx" on GitHub) which creates a 71 color palette but will not work (its has been disabled) with the existing 16-color curses because text attributes (such as underline) partially overlay the foreground-background color-pair attributes.
