Hi, I agree with you. I have a Python unicode object in C (I don't know which utf) and I want to convert this explicitely to utf-16. Is there any way to do this? PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject(PyObject *obj, const char *encoding, const char *errors) says that obj can't be a unicode type so I guess I can't use this one, does anybody knows any other method by which I can achieve my goal?
