#51141: Consider building Python with +ucs4 by default --------------------------+------------------- Reporter: audvare@… | Owner: jwa@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: python27 | --------------------------+------------------- Comment (by devans@…): I don't remember either but I suspect the problem was with older packages that didn't properly support UTF-8. It's been a while since this issue was visited and so it probably would make sense to determine where the problems were in the past and see if things have changed in the interim.n At the very least, it would be worth while to document any problems that remain. At best, perhaps we could get rid of this python variant and just build with this support enabled. Probably would mean, though, that all ports that link with libpython would need to be rebuilt. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51141#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
