For information, all Mandriva versions I've used until now have had their Python's built with UCS2 (maxunicode == 65535).

By the way, I was investigating this, and discovered an issue on the Mandriva tracker which suggests that they intend to switch to UCS4 in the next release in order to avoid compatibility problems like these. (Not because they think that UCS4 is better than UCS2.)
