Hence the weird dependency.
I believe that it would be more appropriate to adjust the _tkinter module to adapt to the TCL Unicode size rather than forcing the complete Python system to adapt to TCL - I don't really see the point in an optional extension module defining the default for the interpreter core. At the very least, this should be a user controlled option. Otherwise, we might as well use sizeof(wchar_t) as basis for the default Unicode size. This at least, would be a much more reasonable choice than whatever TCL uses. - Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, May 07 2005) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,FreeBSD for free ! :::: _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
