[New-bugs-announce] [issue12730] Python's casemapping functions are untrustworthy due to narrow/wide build issues

[Tom Christiansen]

New submission from Tom Christiansen <tchrist at perl.com>:

You cannot use Python's casemapping functions on Unicode data because they fail on narrow builds.  This makes it impossible to write portable code in Python that can cope with full Unicode.

I've tried several times to submit this bug, but the file selection widget blows up. I believe it was an Opera bug because I had a write lock on the file.  One more time.
