How much software actually uses wchar_t these days and interfaces with Python? Do you have examples for software that uses wchar_t and would benefit from wchar_t support in Python?
This is very much a drive-by comment (I haven't been following this thread) so ignore me if this is already covered, but Windows APIs use wchar_t extensively. I routinely work with wchar_t when interfacing Windows API code and Python. But I have no idea what this PEP is proposing to drop, so as long as someone has ensured that the PEP won't adversely affect working with Windows APIs, I'm happy. Paul
