Dumb-ass question: What's a "ucs4 build of Python" and how does one create such a thing? I see no mention of ucs4 in the output from configure --help.
It is using --enable-unicode=ucs4 for configure. From my understanding that causes Python to store all strings internally as UCS-4 Unicode strings. Picked this up from Barry in an email to the list once and figured it sounded like a good idea. -Brett
