Hello every one, I'm looking into issue 1065986 [1], and in order to submit a patch I need to know whether I have to take into account the eventuality that cpyhon 2.7 be built without unicode support.
As far as I can see it is no longer possible to configure cpython 2.7 with --disable-unicode as a consequence of the merge 59157:62babf456005 on 27 Feb 2010 of the commit 59153:8b2048bca33c of the same day. Since I could not find an discussion on the topic leading explicitly to this decision, I was wondering whether this is in fact an unintended consequence of the check introduced in 59153:8b2048bca33c, which excludes "no" from the acceptable values for configuring unicode support. In conclusion, can you guys confirm that I don't have to worry that cpython 2.7 could be built with no unicode support? Or not? If so, shouldn't it be properly documented, at least in Misc/NEWS ? Bye, Stefano [1] http://bugs.python.org/issue1065986
