Umm... except that I have no idea how I might do that. What exact changes
would I need to make to Python.h (and/or something else)? It seems
unwise to make yet another python spkg change to deal with this; did numpy
only recently (between whatever Sage has now and 1.4.1) start making its
headers unicode? I am not exactly a C expert.
That said, 1) seems to be more canonical, though I guess if it makes it
work, 2) could be an option. This is the sort of thing Leif and/or
drkirkby usually have an informed opinion on...
