Jim Schneider added the comment: Terry - I apologize for jumping the gun a bit, and let me be a bit more clear. When I realized that the HP/UX compiler was going to have as many problems as it does compiling python 3, I decided it would be best to create a single issue for all of the

Jim Schneider added the comment: Update to getpath.patch (issue 12561) - this version uses _Py_char2wchar where possible. Unfortunately, as lib_python is declared and defined statically, this can't be used in both cases where the HP/UX compiler has issues. -- Added file:

Jim Schneider added the comment: The __W macro is needed because the token-pasting operator binds to the macro's argument immediately; Having WCHAR(y) expand to __W(y) means that __W is passed WCHAR's argument after it's been macro-expanded. Without the intermediate step
