Hi,
The copy of Python 2.4 shipped with Fedora Core 4 is configured to use
4-byte unicode instead of 2-byte, which is the upstream default. Modifying
this changes the exported API of libpython and breaks compatibility with
other distributions which is, needless to say, a Very Bad Thing.
Does anybody know why this is done? Is there any chance of fixing this
with a future version of the Python packages?
thanks -mike
