The docs actually say "Depending on the platform, it can be 16 bits or 32
bits".

With Python 3.5 on MacOSX, it seems to work and hold the full range of
unicode characters.

Not sure why this is being deprecated instead of just making it always
32 bits. I'll make some enquiries.

So sorry for the vocabulary mislead.
I intended to write "requests" referring to the http networking lib with
the bazillion downloads. ;-)

I don't know the answer, and PEP 393 doesn't talk about the array('u')
deprecation directly. But it seems to me that with Py_UNICODE going away
this array type code would have to be completely reimplemented, and also at
that point array('u') is just equivalent to array('L') with some extra
conversion semantics. Maybe it's simply deprecated because nobody has
proposed keeping it and anybody who really wants it can accomplish the same
with 'L'.

To be more specific, it suggests that jasonanyilian had some whitespace
at the beginning of a line. Unlike most programming languages, Python is
picky about whitespace at the beginning of lines (the "indentation").
This can be a problem when you copy and paste fragments of code.
