I don't have a strong opinion. Any one else have an opinion about removing --with-wctype-functions from configure?

I've been wanting to rip this out for some time now, but you're right: I forgot to add this to PEP 11, so let's wait for another release. OTOH, this normally only affects system builders, so perhaps we could do this a little faster, e.g. add a warning in the first alpha and then rip it out with one of the last betas ?! > Modified: peps/trunk/pep-0011.txt > > + Name: Systems using --with-wctype-functions > + Unsupported in: Python 2.6 > + Code removed in: Python 2.6
