Hi, With the PEP 393, the Py_UNICODE is now deprecated and scheduled for removal in Python 4. PyUnicode_AsUnicode() and PyUnicode_AsUnicodeAndSize() functions are still commonly used on Windows to get the string as wchar_t* without having to care of freeing the memory: it's a borrowed reference (pointer).
I would like to add a new PyUnicode_AsWideChar() function which would return the borrowed reference, exactly as PyUnicode_AsUnicode(). The problem is that "PyUnicode_AsWideChar" already exists in Python 3.2, as PyUnicode_AsWideCharString. Do you have an suggestion for a name of such function? PyUnicode_AsWideCharBorrowed? PyUnicode_AsFastWideChar? PyUnicode_ToWideChar? PyUnicode_AsWchar_t?
