[PyOpenGL-Users] Test your unicode-using code (Py3K Peeps)

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@vr...>]

I've just landed a minimal patch in bzr head to support Unicode as an 
(incoming) array data-type on PyOpenGL.  The data-type converts to 
8-bit, then treats the result as a regular string.  Note that this means 
that the unicode string is *always* copied, and will raise errors with 
ERROR_ON_COPY set.

Note that this will not *produce* Unicode, it produces the 8-bit strings 
that are the api definitions for OpenGL, but it *should* allow you to 
pass in unicode strings for e.g. shader text, uniform names, etc.  I've 
only done the most minimal testing imaginable, as I don't have any 
unicode-using code, but if you're using Py3K you likely have lots of it 
and can tell me how magnificently it blows up :) .

Enjoy,
Mike
