hi, Dne 5.5.2011 08:55, Michal Vyskocil napsal(a):
I am not sure if this difference is intentional or not, so I'm asking here instead of bugzilla. Maybe this is intended, because you save 50% of memory for most of python programs and you need to port your code to python3, so it's not a big issue I'd say - see PEP 261 [1] for details. If so, then this should be mentioned in README.SUSE.
I did a quick review of other distributions: * Debian use UCS4 from 2.3 and most probably in python3 as well - [2] * Fedora use USC2 in python [3] and UCS4 (I assume --with-wide-unicode is UCS4) in python3 [4]
AFAICT, Fedora did use UCS4 in python 2.x too. I originally wanted to use UCS2, because of the memory savings and also because it's upstream's default. But i think that cross-distro compatibility is more important, so i'm switching to UCS4. Anyone who objects, please speak now or forever remain silent ;) regards m. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
