Perhaps it would make sense to move the Unicode database on the
Python side (write it in Python)? Or init the database dynamically
in the unicodedata module on import? It's quite big, so if it's
possible to avoid the static declaration (and if the unicodata module
is enabled by default), I'd vote for a dynamic initialization of the
database from reference (Python ?) file(s).

M-A, is something in this spirit doable?
