PythonCard works with both Unicode and non-Unicode builds of wxPython
on all platforms.
I think we may still have an issue with the resourceEditor saves of the
resource files stripping Unicode out of menu items or something like
that, but otherwise it should work fine. We probably need to create
some resource files that use Unicode strings in a variety of component
attributes and then test that the resourceEditor behaves correctly both
with Unicode and non-Unicode builds of wxPython as far as string
conversion goes.
The other issue is what happens when a resource file containing Unicode
strings is loaded with a non-Unicode build of wxPython, will it convert
down to ascii, just throw an exception? Again, need some examples to
test. The code that might need to adjusted to auto-convert or display a
warning dialog is pretty small.
