That's not true. MultiByteToWideChar use LPWSTR, which is a typedef for wchar_t*. These functions assume that Py_UNICODE is the same type as WCHAR. > We should just check that we are compiling under Windows: -1, see above. In the long run, it would be really good if Python supported a four-byte Py_UNICODE on Windows - people keep asking for it. I have been meaning to provide versions of the mbcs codecs for years that work for UCS-4, but haven't found the time yet to implement them. ---------- nosy: +loewis title: #ifdef and mbcs: don't check for defined(HAVE_USABLE_WCHAR_T) -> #ifdef and mbcs: don't check for defined(HAVE_USABLE_WCHAR_T) _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9642> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
