Ronald Oussoren added the comment:
Py_UNICODE is an typedef for wchar_t and that type is 4 bytes long:
>>> a.tobytes()
b'h\x00\x00\x00e\x00\x00\x00l\x00\x00\x00l\x00\x00\x00o\x00\x00\x00
\x00\x00\x00w\x00\x00\x00o\x00\x00\x00r\x00\x00\x00l\x00\x00\x00d\x00\x00\x00'
>>> a = array.array('u', 'bar')
>>> a.tobytes()
b'b\x00\x00\x00a\x00\x00\x00r\x00\x00\x00'
>>> len(a.tobytes())
12

This is with a checkout that was created yesterday.
The issue is not resolved, there now is no way to easily create a UCS2 buffer;
while there was in earlier releases of Python (with the default narrow build)
