[Moving to python-dev] I don't have a strong opinion. Any one else have an opinion about removing --with-wctype-functions from configure? n -- On 2/16/06, M.-A. Lemburg <mal@egenix.com> wrote:

Modified: peps/trunk/pep-0011.txt Log: MAL says this option should go away in bug report 874534:
The reason for the removal is that the option causes semantical problems and makes Unicode work in non-standard ways on platforms that use locale-aware extensions to the wc-type functions.
Since it wasn't previously announced, we can keep the option until 2.6 unless someone feels strong enough to rip it out.
I've been wanting to rip this out for some time now, but you're right: I forgot to add this to PEP 11, so let's wait for another release.
OTOH, this normally only affects system builders, so perhaps we could do this a little faster, e.g. add a warning in the first alpha and then rip it out with one of the last betas ?!
