Initial Comment:
As requested by Jack Janssen:
"""
Recently, "M.-A. Lemburg" <mal@lemburg.com> said:
> How about this: we add a wchar_t codec to Python and the "eu#" parser
> marker. Then you could write:
> 
>       wchar_t value = NULL;
>       int len = 0;
>       if (PyArg_ParseTuple(tuple, "eu#", "wchar_t", &value, &len) < 0)
>                 return NULL;

I like it!
"""

The parser marker should return Py_UNICODE* instead of char* and work much like "et#" does now for 
strings.

Because of the memory management issues, I don't think
having such a feature is desirable.
