 Replying to [comment:5 audvare@…]:
 > It's when I run `port upgrade outdated` that this does not work and I
 get the output I gave, even after running `port install gobject-
 introspection +python_ucs4`.

 Will check this.  Upgrade should use the same variants as previously
 installed.

 > For now I will undo ucs4, but a non-wide version of Python is pretty
 weird nowadays. Packages like
 [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Unidecode#requirements Unidecode] become
 almost useless once you want characters outside the BMP. Is there any
 consideration to make ucs4 the default or not even allow it to be
 disabled?

 I'm not one of the python maintainers but it has been some time since I
 heard about these issues and it may be that it's time the current stance
 should be re-evalutated and modified if warranted.
