No. printf indeed will see a terminating character. However, wprintf should correctly know that a wchar_t has four bytes per character, and print it correctly. Make sure to use %ls to print wchar_t arrays; %s would print multi-byte character strings. > I need to further process the data and those libraries will need the > data in UCS2 format (2 bytes), otherwise they fail. Are you absolutely sure about that? Why does that library expect UCS-2, when you system's wchar_t is four bytes? In any case, do what MAL told you: use the UCS-2 codec to convert the Unicode string to a 2-bytes-per-char byte string. The PyObject you get from the conversion is a byte string object; use PyString_AsStringAndSize to get to the actual bytes. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
