Did not test, but this is the direction I would take: * Download Python sources * Open Terminal * Run the following commands in the Terminal window - sudo apt-get build-dep python - tar -xjf Python-2.7.3.tar.bz2 - cd Python-2.7.3 - ./configure --prefix=/opt --enable-unicode=ucs2 && make - sudo make install * Now you should have /opt/bin/python with ucs2
