…ion (pythonGH-156354) window.encoding does not encode the string arguments on a build with wide-character support: the curses library converts the characters itself. In the HOWTO: getch() returns -1, not curses.ERR, when there is no input, and half-delay mode does the same as no-delay mode. getkey() returns the key name only for a special key. leaveok() is not a synonym for curs_set(). getstr() returns a bytes object, interprets the erase and kill characters, and limits bytes. The ACS_* constants are not all larger than 255. Also document get_wch() before getch(), and read whole characters in the example. (cherry picked from commit 161054c)

complexchar,complexstr,in_wch(),in_wchstr()andget_wstr()are omitted: these do not exist in 3.15.(cherry picked from commit 161054c)
