…ythonGH-152705) The mouse interface (getmouse(), the BUTTON* constants, ...) was gated on the ncurses-specific NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION macro, so it was dropped on other curses implementations that provide it, such as NetBSD curses and PDCurses. Gate it instead on a configure capability probe or the PDCURSES macro. Probe for getmouse() with its X/Open getmouse(MEVENT *) signature, since PDCurses declares an incompatible getmouse(void) unless built for the ncurses mouse API, which PDC_NCMOUSE now always selects. The is_*() state-query methods named in the original change do not exist on 3.15, so only the mouse interface is backported.

The mouse interface (

PDCURSESmacro.getmouse()is probed with its X/Opengetmouse(MEVENT *)signature specifically, because PDCurses declares an incompatiblegetmouse(void)unless built for the ncurses mouse API;PDC_NCMOUSEis now always defined so PDCurses selects that interface.The
is_*()state-query methods named in the original change (GH-152705) do not exist on 3.15, so only the mouse interface is backported.Verified by reconfiguring + rebuilding on 3.15 (the probe resolves
HAVE_CURSES_GETMOUSE=1) and runningtest_curses.(cherry picked from commit 7bbea4f)
