Python _curses.error: setupterm: could not find terminfo database

I'm receiving the following error while attempting to debug/run a curses based Python script on OS X 10.8.2, IDEA Ultimate 11.1.3, Python plugin 2.9.2, and Python SDK 2.7.2.  I can execute the script from a terminal session without any problem.  Is there a workaround for this issue to allow debugging within IDEA?

_curses.error: setupterm: could not find terminfo database

Here is the basic code to cause the error:

import curses

from curses.wrapper import wrapper

def main(scr):

    scr.box()

    scr.refresh()

    c = scr.getch()

wrapper(main)
