> No, but changing the APIs from 16-bit integers to 32-bit integers > does require a recompile of all code using it. Is it acceptable between 3.1 and 3.2 for example? ISTM that other changes already require recompilation of extension modules. > Also, the Unicode type database itself uses Py_UNICODE, so > case mapping would fail for non-BMP code points. Where, please? in unicodedata.c, getuchar and _getrecord_ex use Py_UCS4.
