Bug Description
Python links against the ncurses library which does not support UTF-8 output. The version of ncurses that supports UFT-8 is called "ncursesw".
I have submitted a patch that lets python link agains ncursesw. It can be found here:

The Ubuntu python package dependencies will also have to be changed to use libncurses5w instead of libncurses5.
