Marc-Andre Lemburg: The attached patch set includes a workaround to get Python with Unicode compile on BSDI 4.x (courtesy Thomas Wouters; the cause is a bug in the BSDI wchar.h header file) and Python interfaces for the MBCS codec donated by Mark Hammond. Also included are some minor corrections w/r to the docs of the new "es" and "es#" parser markers (use PyMem_Free() instead of free(); thanks to Mark Hammond for finding these). The unicodedata tests are now in a separate file (test_unicodedata.py) to avoid problems if the module cannot be found.
