Comment(by jarkko.laiho@…):

 nox, that's right, your message just caused a CC to be sent to my e-mail
 address, and my response was directed at the old comment by mcalhoun (I've
 somehow ignored the CCs sent between then and now) suggesting closing this
 ticket due to python26/30 having UCS-4 variants.

 The passage of time has really made this ticket redundant, IMHO. Anyone in
 a real need of a UCS-4 build of Python from MacPorts has moved on to using
 python26 by now, so I don't think it's worth the trouble to make python24
 or python25 UCS-4 builds. I originally opened this ticket, and the need
 having disappeared, would close it if I could.

 Your concern about whether a variant is the correct solution for UCS-4
 builds or not is probably valid, but I think you might consider opening a
 separate ticket for it; you'd probably get more responses that way. This
 ticket is basically dead (and good riddance ;-)
