When building Python with: ./configure --disable-unicode the test suite has many spurious failures because modules and tests assume that unicode support is available. Installing this Python (using "make install") fails at the end of the first run of compileall.py, since that script detects and reports failures; the output contains many lines with the message Sorry: ValueError: ('Unicode escapes not legal when Unicode disabled',) This should be fixed, or --disable-unicode should be removed.

Logged In: YES user_id=3066 The trunk and release24-maint branch will no longer compile with --diable-unicode.

The --disable-unicode option and related code should be removed from 3.0 and probably from 2.6, too.

I renamed --enable-unicode to --with-wide-unicode in r59829; this should handle the Py3k case. I added suitable Py_USING_UNICODE directives in r59830 so that the trunk compiles again without unicode.
