I don't know if Apple has picked up on it (or if the version they currently distribute is affected - 2.3.5 built Oct 5 2005).

Note that the bug refers to a UCS4 Python build. Most Linux distros ship UCS4 builds nowadays, so they care. The Windows builds are UCS2 (except maybe the ones for Win64 - don't know) which doesn't seem to be affected.

AFAIK the version Apple ship is a UCS2 build, therefore not affected.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
