Martin v. Löwis added the comment: Thanks for the patch. I did the library patch without monkey-patching. If there are further issues with this feature, please submit new bug reports. I won't consider the many test failures due to usage of Unicode literals in the test cases as bugs, as workin

Martin v. Löwis added the comment: I find the injection of a fake unicode class too hacky. Instead, I suggest that each module does try: _unicode = unicode except NameError: # no unicode support in this build class _unicode: pass and then have the isinstance checks look fo

New submission from Charles Solar : I am compiling python on AIX 5.3. The normal configure and make works, except it fails to compile the unicodedata module. The assembler reports a bunch of these errors: Error: value of 0001268b too large for field of 2 bytes at 006d Th
