zope.testrunner is not usable on PyPy3 2.4.0 (the current stable release) because its curses module is buggy (see also).

zope.testrunner uses curses for two reasons:

  • to autodetect color support
  • to determine the terminal width

The test runner can cope with curses support being missing (Windows). I think it'd be nice to our users if we could cope with curses being buggy on PyPy3.

Rejected workaround 1: passing byte strings to curses.tigetnum() works fine on PyPy3, but fails on CPython 3 (TypeError: must be str, not bytes).
