A.M. Kuchling added the comment: The subsequent discussion didn't arrive at a consensus. Most commenters wanted to drop --disable-unicode support and thought these patches were too extensive for 2.7, but Serhiy noted that running the tests with --disable-unicode turns up problems in the Unicod

STINNER Victor added the comment: IMO supporting building Python 2 without Unicode support should be discussed on the python-dev mailing list, it's not an innocent change. Python is moving strongly to Unicode: Python 3 uses Unicode by default. So to me it sounds really weird to work on buildin

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Ned, I think you misunderstood Martin. He approved patch which fixes some disabled-unicode bugs. He noted that fixing a number of test failures has very low priority. This issue is about fixing the possibility of build Python and run test suite itself. And a

Ned Deily added the comment: Serhly, I admire you for all of the obvious effort you put into this but I can't help but think it is misplaced effort. My original comment was made before you submitted all of the other patches. As it stands, to proceed with this, there are now tens of thousands

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I think the purpose of this option is similar to --without-doc-strings, this decreases the size of Python binary (-0.5 MB). Most needed changes are pretty trivial and they are only small fraction of already existing code for supporting --disable-unicode. --

Ned Deily added the comment: Note MvL's comment (msg161191 in Issue8767) about not fixing test cases for --disable-unicode here. This seems like a tremendous amount of code churn for a problem that has likely been around for years and would affect very few. How widely is --disable-unicode us

[issue21833] Fix unicodeless build of Python

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: Since 2.2 Python can be compiled without unicode support (built with --disable-unicode configure option). Unfortunately, testing suite depends on the io module, which in 2.7 depends on the _io module, which requires unicode support. So for now testing unic
