It's still intended that you can build Python 2.6 without Unicode support, and that the test suite "mostly" works.
If it doesn't, it's up to users who care about that feature to provide fixes, but you should not actively break it.
About two months ago I fixed the most critical bugs but the unicode free build is treated like a poor cousin at best. It's neither actively developed nor tested in regular intervals. IMO it's a deprecation candiate. Christian
