Hi,

I looked whether I could make the test suite pass again when compiled with --disable-unicode. One problem is that no Unicode escapes can be used since compiling the file raises ValueErrors for them. Such strings would have to be produced using unichr().

Yeah, I've bumped into this.

Is this the right way? Or is disabling Unicode not supported any more?

I don't know. More particularly, I don't know if anyone actually uses a unicode-disabled build. If noone does, we might as well rip the code out.

Cheers, mwh
