Well, currently it does make a difference. Simple example: CreateFile(). It's not so simple: Python doesn't actually call CreateFile Martin, CreateFile() was just used as an example. You can substitute it with LoadString() or CreateProcess() if you like, the problem remains the same.

However, the solution should be different from the one you propose. I don't know what call of CreateProcess you are referring to specifically, but I think they should all be changed to call CreateProcessW.

Again, whether or not _UNICODE is defined should have no effect. If it does, it's a bug, and the solution is not to sprinkle TCHAR all over the place.

[about using SCons for building]

And you can provide an SCons file that supports all the SDKs? No, but I can provide one that allows parametrisation. ;)

And, with proper parametrization, then supports all SDKs?
