Here is a first patch to add a method setcharset() to the window class. Using my patch, you can fix your example by adding the line: screen.setcharset(<your charset>) before addstr(). It's an initial hack to fix the issue. Next steps are: - use something better than utf8 as the default charset, maybe locale.getpreferredencoding() - copy the charset on new window creation?
