I had been asked for pre-release feedback on PyPM and suggested to work on the UCS2/UCS4 build problem in PyPM. As a result the following has been noted (http://workspace.activestate.com/sridharr/pypm/ticket/83): "Jan further commented that we should not be bothering to make PyPM work with custom builds of Python other than ActivePython (which is UCS2 on all platforms) as PyPM is legally supposed to be used only with ActivePython. I originally noted the same .. but later thought about users hosting custom repositories and using custom Python versions (/usr/bin/python on Ubuntu, for instance). But if they are not legally allowed to use anything other ActivePython, why bother?" Which should answer your question about "available separately".
