The _curses module has two issues on OpenSolaris:
See issue bpo-12567 for the ncursesw issue and issue bpo-3786 for the mvwchgat() problem. The issue bpo-3786 contains information about XPG4 curses and has a (non working) patch for the mvwchgat() issue.
--
I opened a new issue because bpo-12567 is more specific to Unicode, and bpo-3786 talks about various issues (it is not specific to curses).

curses_hacks.patch: various hacks to use the XPG4 curses on OpenIndiana.

Jesús Cea Avión also noticed in msg143798 from the issue bpo-6755:
I have compiled ncurses myself, supporting wide characters. I get this warnings in the buildbots:
"""
/export/home/buildbot/32bits/3.x.cea-indiana-x86/build/Modules/_cursesmodule.c:920: warning: implicit declaration of function 'wget_wch'
/export/home/buildbot/32bits/3.x.cea-indiana-x86/build/Modules/_cursesmodule.c:927: warning: implicit declaration of function 'mvwget_wch'
/export/home/buildbot/32bits/3.x.cea-indiana-x86/build/Modules/_cursesmodule.c:2760: warning: implicit declaration of function 'unget_wch'
"""
Studying the "ncurses.h", I see the definition of "wget_wch" and others. But these definitions are created only if "_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED" is defined.
Something to be explored?.

Does OpenIndiana ship with the gnu version of ncurses like Solaris 11?
Headers:
/usr/include/ncurses
Libraries:
/usr/gnu/lib
If it matches Solaris, then you can use my patch[1] in bpo-3786 to see if that works around the issue, like it does for Solaris.

What is the status of this issue? Is curses still broken on Python 3.4?

The OpenIndiana buildbot is offline. The Solaris buildbot was removed. We cannot develop on these operating systems, so I just close the issue. Sorry.
