That still wouldn't work with Python 1.5.2, as that version did not support Unicode at all.

Yes, as I said, it won't be more broken than before applying the patch (my first patch was breaking 1.5.2 completely).

If people choose to compile python 2.4.3 without unicode support, it won't work either. But if you choose to disable unicode you probably live in a very constrained environment and you may not be affected by the locale bug at all.

I agree the patch is not perfect :-) but I think it solves the problem for most people.
