Hi all,
Just to avoid duplicating efforts: work is in progress here on the
wide char / wide string support in ORBit-Python. Nothing has been
written yet, but I'm experimenting on the Python Unicode objects and
it shouldn't be that much of a hassle to handle wchar and wstring in
the marshalling/demarshalling. Could be a bit trickier as far as
wchar/wstring constants are specified in the IDL, but I haven't
started to look into that, so I'm not sure. In any case, don't expect
anything before a few days / weeks (maybe around the Python 2.0b1
release if I'm lucky).
Work is based on current Python developement branch (as found on the
Sourceforge CVS), and a preliminary remark is this: ORBit-Python does
not compile with Python 2. There's a PyMem_XDEL somewhere
(src/server.c maybe), and apparently that macro or function is no
more. Replacing it by a PyMem_DEL did not explode at me right away,
but I wouldn't recommend that anyone do the same replacement without
further testing.
Stay tuned...
Roland.
