This could be a problem with my file patches as I have been using PyUnicode_AS_UNICODE which will 4 byte strings if Py_UNICODE_WIDE is defined. 4 byte strings can not be passed to the Windows API. So it looks like PyUnicode_AsWideChar has to be used instead with a wrapper to allocate enough memory to hold the resulting string.
Yes. Unfortunately, that would be much more inefficient. So I'd suggest you just put an assertion into the code that Py_UNICODE is the same size as WCHAR (that can be even done through a preprocessor #error, using the _SIZE #defines). I'll expect people will resist changing Py_UNICODE on Windows for quite some time, even if other platforms move on. Regards, Martin
