1. System is NOT memory limited (i.e. most desktops): use a UCS-4 Python build, which is what most Linux distributions do (I'm not sure about the pydotorg provided Windows or Mac OS X builds).
The Windows builds must continue to use a two-byte representation, as otherwise PythonWin will break (and anything else that tries to pass Unicode strings directly to a Win32 *W function).
Regards, Martin
