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.

Work is all ready being done to support building Python with ncurses6, 
see https://bugs.python.org/issue25720.  Whether this alone meets your 
needs or an enhancement request on the bug tracker against 3.6 is 
required I'm really not qualified to say.
