We have dropped support for 9x, ME and NT4 for the 2.6 and 3.0 series. This allows us to use wide API methods without restrictions. IIRC Win2k and newer versions of CE have full support for wide unicode. Several places need an update to support unicode on Windows. This includes argv, the environment variables and file names / path handling. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1342 for another example. In the last months Amaury, Martin von Löwis and I have done most of the Windows work. Any help from an experienced Windows developer is greatly appreciated! We *need* an additional Windows developer. So if you are interested in getting the problems fixed I welcome you on board. I suggest that you start by writing down a list of required changes (file names, function names) and a proposal how to pursue the issues.
