def ascii_ispunct(character: str) -> bool:
    '''
    Use our own function instead of ascii.ispunct()
    from “from curses import ascii” because the behaviour
    of the latter is kind of weird. In Python 3.3.2 it does
    for example:

        # >>> from curses import ascii
        # >>> ascii.ispunct('.')
        # True
        # >>> ascii.ispunct(u'.')
        # True
        # >>> ascii.ispunct('a')
        # False
        # >>> ascii.ispunct(u'a')
        # False
        # >>>
        # >>> ascii.ispunct(u'あ')
        # True
        # >>> ascii.ispunct('あ')
        # True
        # >>>

    あ isn’t punctuation. ascii.ispunct() only really works
    in the ascii range, it returns weird results when used
    over the whole unicode range. Maybe we should better use
    unicodedata.category(), which works fine to figure out
    what is punctuation for all of unicode. But at the moment
    I am only porting from Python2 to Python3 and just want to
    preserve the original behaviour for the moment.

    By the way, Python 3.6.6 does not seem the  above bug
    anymore, in Python 3.6.6 we  get

        # >>> from curses import ascii
        # >>> ascii.ispunct('あ')
        # False
        # >>>

    Examples:

    >>> ascii_ispunct('.')
    True
    >>> ascii_ispunct('a')
    False
    >>> ascii_ispunct('あ')
    False

        do_process_key_event should return “True” if a key event has
        been handled completely. It should return “False” if the key
        event should be passed to the application.

        But just doing “return False” doesn’t work well when trying to
        do the unit tests. The MockEngine class in the unit tests
        cannot get that return value. Therefore, it cannot do the
        necessary updates to the self._mock_committed_text etc. which
        prevents proper testing of the effects of such keys passed to
        the application. Instead of “return False”, one can also use
        self.forward_key_event(keyval, keycode, keystate) to pass the
        key to the application. And this works fine with the unit
        tests because a forward_key_event function is implemented in
        MockEngine as well which then gets the key and can test its
        effects.

        Unfortunately, “forward_key_event()” does not work in Qt5
        applications because the ibus module in Qt5 does not implement
        “forward_key_event()”. Therefore, always using
        “forward_key_event()” instead of “return False” in
        “do_process_key_event()” would break ibus-typing-booster
        completely for all Qt5 applictions.

        To work around this problem and make unit testing possible
        without breaking Qt5 applications, we use this helper function
        which uses “forward_key_event()” when unit testing and “return
        False” during normal usage.
