more OS X oddities

[Nicholas Cole]

Why does this code give the name of function keys on linux, but not on
OS X? I can't work out any way of capturing a function-key press
(either in X11 or Terminal.app) on OS X.

def mainloop(scr):
        while 1:
                scr.keypad(1)
                ch = scr.getch()
                try:
                        scr.erase()
                        scr.addstr(0,0, "%s, %s,  %s" %
                        (curses.keyname(ch), curses.ascii.unctrl(ch), ch))
                except:
                        pass
                scr.refresh()
