Description Tuan Van (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-30 14:40:19 UTC 
python built without ncurses USE flag causes traceback.

# xenmon.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/xenmon.py", line 32, in ?
    import curses as _c
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/curses/__init__.py", line 15, in ?
    from _curses import *
ImportError: No module named _curses
Comment 1 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-31 18:08:06 UTC 
I added a warning to pkg_postinst.  This seems like the appropriate response since not all xen users care about xenmon.py.  Thanks for the report.

if ! built_with_use dev-lang/python ncurses; then
        echo
        ewarn "NB: Your dev-lang/python is built without USE=ncurses."
        ewarn "Please rebuild python with USE=ncurses to make use of xenmon.py."
