What makes it appear so? sizeof(Py_UNICODE) changes when you change the option - does that, in your mind, mean that the encoding changes? > If that isn't true, then someone needs to change > the doc, and the configure options.

However, you seem to be saying that this isn't true. It's a compile-time option (as all configure options). So at run-time, it isn't variable.
