Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: Please note that the official way to build Python without Unicode support is (see http://bugs.python.org/issue445762):
./configure --disable-unicode See http://bugs.python.org/issue8767 for the most recent set of fixes that were supplied to make it work again in Python 2.7.4. If the above doesn't work, it's a bug (as well) - and has been for quite a few releases. Technically, --disable-unicode is mapped to --enable-unicode=no by configure. I guess we'd need a buildbot to check whether --disable-unicode still works, i.e. produces a Python version that compiles and passes the basic tests. ---------- nosy: +lemburg _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17979> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
