Nadeem: is the failure you show in msg141798 with a version of test_curses that uses pty.openpty? If it isn't: I'd expect more test failures on buildbot machines where the buildbot agent is started as a system daemon, in which case the process doesn't have a tty at all. Using pty.openpty it would be possible to ensure that there is a pty that can be used for the test. I'll work on a patch.
