Details

Now, the PKGBUILD of python contains:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --with-threads --enable-unicode
However, in this case python lose support for UCS-4 characters, giving the error:
"ValueError: unichr() arg not in range(0x10000) (narrow Python build)"
which can be critical to some non-English speakers.

Change the configure line to:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --with-threads --enable-unicode=ucs4
will solve the problem.

Please consider change the configure options, thanks.
