Insert mode in curses.textpad in python

Question

While doing this in python:

tp = curses.textpad.Textbox(stdscr, insert_mode=True)
text = tp.edit()

I get

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

Could you please tell me how to enable insert mode in curses.textpad? Thanks in advance.
