With the proper encapsulation, it's not that tricky. I have written functions PyUnicode_IndexToWCharIndex and PyUnicode_WCharIndexToIndex, and PyUnicodeEncodeError_GetStart and friends would use that function. I'd also need new functions PyUnicodeEncodeError_GetStartIndex to access the "true" start field. >> That would be expensive to compute > > Yeah, O(n) should be avoided when is it possible. Ok. I'll wait half a day or so for people to reconsider (now knowing that it's actually feasible to be fully backwards compatible); if nobody speaks up, I go ahead and accept the breakage.
