I use UCS-32 in my extensions, but never persist UCS-32 for which I use UTF-8. If you are calling WIN32 "unicode" APIs then you need UCS-16. My plan with PyCXX is to replace Py_UNICODE with UCS-32. I think all the UCS-32 APIs will still be present. Once I add that support to PyCXX all my users should easily port to a non-Py_UNICODE world. Barry
