            Bug ID: 206285
           Summary: lang/python35: _curses.so not linked against
                    libncursesw even when available
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

When installing via pkg, Python 3.5's `curses` module (_curses.so) links
against /lib/ncurses.so.8 and not /lib/ncursesw.so.8 even though it is present,
causing the `curses` module to fail with methods such as `window.get_wch()`.
Same occurs when building from ports regardless of selected options.

This issue is also present on Python 3.4 and 2.7 ports.

Initial investigation seems to imply the setup.py file is not detecting
correctly which library to link to.
