Comment (by ballapete):

 Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign]:

 Since I am not  a native Python I have no idea what that `ucs4` is good
 for. But I have an idea of "America first": 7 bits only. I need some more
 bits for text handling.

 OK, I'll try to remember to build all Python 2.7 packages from source.

 Is Python 3 better suited for international usage? Can it be made the
 default Python port?
